Rotating Objects

VectorWorks provides a variety of ways to rotate 2D and 3D objects. Use the Rotate tool to rotate an object directly using the mouse. Use the various Rotate commands to rotate the object around the current location, by choosing a preset rotation, or by entering custom rotation information in a dialog box.

Certain objects, such as rectangles, rounded rectangles, ovals, bitmaps, and PICT images, can be rotated by holding the Shift key down while rotating with the rotate cursor of the 2D Selection tool.
