Unrotated bounding box
If you choose Convert to Paths, Canvas re-orients the bounding box
of a rotated object so the object’s rectangular shape distorts when
you drag a handle on the bounding box, as shown by the dotted
lines.
Flipping objects
Flip objects horizontally, vertically, and both horizontally and vertically, with the Flip commands. You
can flip individual objects, multiple selected objects, or grouped objects. When you flip a group
object, objects included in the group flip around the axes of the group’s bounding box.
To flip a selected object from top to bottom:
Choose Effects | Flip | Vertical. The Vertical command flips the selection’s vertical coordinates
over its horizontal axis.
To flip a selected object from left to right:
Choose Effects | Flip | Horizontal. The Horizontal command flips the selection’s horizontal
coordinates over its vertical axis.
