Using the Default Center Points

To use the default center points, select a button.

Why use the default center points? If you set the center of rotation
with the default center points, the object will rotate around the
same point even if the object is resized. For example, the top–
middle corner will always be the center of rotation no matter what
size the object is.

Specifying Coordinates

The default coordinates 0,0 are the center of the object; all
coordinate values are relative to the center. To specify coordinates,
do one of the following:

using the mouse, place the crosshair at the desired center of

rotation and select the button beside the coordinates field

type values in the coordinates field and then select the button

beside the field

5.

Set the range of motion for the object.

To set the minimum, do one of the following and then select the
At Minimum check box:

click the Rotate tool and visually set the degree of rotation

type the desired degree of rotation (this value is relative to the

object’s current position). For clockwise rotation, use a positive
number. For counterclockwise rotation, use a negative number.
