Rotating and shearing

To rotate layer content:

1. With the Move Tool, select layer content on a chosen layer.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Drag the selected layer content's rotation handle.
   • Position the cursor close to a corner handle and drag on the page.
   • From the Arrange menu, select a rotate option.

1. Select multiple layers, ensuring the layer previously rotated is selected first. To do this, use -click to target it first or a marquee selection that encompasses it first.
2. On the Toolbar, click Alignment, then set the Make Same option, choosing Rotation.
3. Click Apply.

1. Select multiple layers.
2. With the pressed, click the target rotated key object (i.e., a layer). The selected key object will possess a strong outline.
3. On the Toolbar, click Alignment, then set the Make Same option, choosing Rotation.

• Double-click at any corner handle when you see the rotation cursor.

To move the transform origin:

1. Select layer content.
2. Select the Move Tool, then click Enable Transform Origin on the context toolbar. The origin shows centrally within the selected layer content.
3. Drag the origin to a new position in the selected layer content or anywhere on the page.

Once you've moved the origin, you can rotate your layer content about it as described above. If using the Transform panel, rotation is about this custom origin unless you choose to override this and use the panel's Anchor point selector instead.

• Double-click the transform origin.

To shear layer content:

1. Select layer content on a chosen layer.
2. Position the cursor close to a side handle and drag on the page.

• Double-click at any edge handle when you see the shear cursor.
