Rotate a group or an individual element

Change the angle of a group by rotating it.
IMPORTANT:
Rotating elements in a group and then resizing the group without maintaining its aspect ratio may cause the rotated elements to deform.
To rotate a group or an individual element:
  1. Select the group.
  2. Position the cursor on a corner sizing handle until it turns into a curved double-arrow.
  3. Drag to rotate the group. A tooltip displays the angle as you rotate the group. The rotation angle is based on the center point of the group.
    TIP:
    Tips:
      • The top left sizing handle is a circle that identifies the original top left corner after rotating a graphic element or group.
    • You can rotate multiple groups simultaneously. Press and hold
      Ctrl
      while you click on each group
      to select them. Use any corner sizing handle and drag to rotate all of the groups.
    • You can rotate a group by changing the value of the
      Angle
      property in the
      Properties
      tab. 180 displays the group upside down. If you enter a value larger than 360, the portion of numeric value that is over 360 becomes the value. For example, enter 380 to see a value of 20. If you enter a value less than 0, the negative value is subtracted from 360. For example, enter -30 to see a value of 330.
    • You can rotate a graphic element within a group. In the
      Graphic Explorer
      , select the graphic element and rotate it using any corner sizing handle. The rotation angle is based on the center point of the graphic element.
    • Alternatively, in the Properties window, you can change the angle of a group or graphic element to a desired value.
