Rotating and shearing objects

To rotate objects:

1. With the Move Tool or on the Layers panel, select one or more objects.
2. Do one of the following:
   • In the document view, drag the selection's rotation handle.
   • On the Transform panel, drag Rotation. Using this option, you can also change the Anchor to determine which point of the object to rotate around.

1. Select multiple objects, ensuring the object previously rotated is selected first. To do this, use -tap to target it first or a marquee selection that encompasses it first.
2. On the Transform panel, tap Alignment Options, then set a Make Same option, choosing to size to Rotation.

1. Select multiple objects.
2. With the modifier pressed on the hardware keyboard or Command Controller, tap the target rotated object. The selected key object will possess a strong outline.
3. On the Transform panel, tap Alignment Options, then set a Make Same option, choosing to size to Rotation.

To shear objects:

1. Either with the Move Tool or on the Layers panel, select one or more objects.
2. On the Transform panel, drag Shear.

Do one of the following:

• In the document view, select the object, then double-tap the rotation handle to undo rotation.
• On the Transform panel, tap Rotation or Shear and set the value to 0.

To move the transform origin:

1. Either with the Move Tool or on the Layers panel, select one or more objects.
2. Do one of the following:
   • On the Transform panel, select an Anchor point.
   • On the Move Tool's context toolbar, tap Move Options, select Enable Transform Origin and then drag the selection's transform origin from the selection's centre to a new position.

Once you've moved the origin, the Transform panel also rotates/shears about it unless you override the origin by tapping an Anchor point on the panel.

• Double-tap the transform origin.
