The result is that only the endpoints that lie within the crossing selection
move.
Nudge Objects
Selected objects can be nudged in orthogonal increments by pressing Ctrl +
arrow keys. Snap mode affects the distance and direction in which the objects
are nudged.
Nudge objects with Snap mode turned off: Objects move two pixels
at a time; movement is relative and orthogonal to the screen, regardless
of the view direction or the UCS orientation.
Nudge objects with Snap mode turned on: Objects are moved in
increments specified by the current snap spacing; movement is orthogonal
to the X and Y axes of the current UCS and relative to the view direction.

Rotate Objects
You can rotate objects in your drawing around a specified base point.
To determine the angle of rotation, you can enter an angle value, drag using
the cursor, or specify a reference angle to align to an absolute angle.
Rotate an Object by a Specified Angle
Enter a rotation angle value from 0 to 360 degrees. You can also enter values
in radians, grads, or surveyor bearings. Entering a positive angle value rotates
the objects counterclockwise or clockwise, depending on the base angle
direction setting in the Drawing Units dialog box.
Rotate an Object by Dragging
Drag the object around the base point and specify a second point. Use Ortho
mode, polar tracking, or object snaps for greater precision.
For example, you can rotate the plan view of a house by selecting the objects
(1), specifying a base point (2), and specifying an angle of rotation by dragging
to another point (3).
