How do I rotate a graphic object?

Rotating a graphic object is the same procedure wether you like to move an image, a text box, a calendar or any other object.

To rotate a graphic object:

1. Make sure you are in Manual layout mode.

2. Move the mouse pointer over the graphic object you like to rotate. The frame manipulation handles appear:

   Frame manipulation handles.
3. Grab the green handle and move it around the center of the graphic object to rotate it:

The different handle colors indicate different purposes:

- Use the yellow handles to size the frame.
- Use the green handle to rotate the frame.

Tip

- You can also use the Angle fields on the Basics panel on the Adjust tab to control the image and frame rotation:

  Inspector rotation controls.

- The rotation process will not stop when you move the mouse pointer away from the center of the graphic object (while still pressing the mouse button). You may increase the rotation precision by moving the mouse pointer on a larger radius.

  The same holds true for the user interface elements on an Adjust panel.
