Figure 107: Position and Size dialog – Rotation page
Rotation dialog
Instead of rotating an object manually or using the Sidebar, you can use the Rotation dialog (Figure
107) for more precise control when rotating an object.
1) Select the object so that the selection handles are displayed.
2) Press F4 key, or select Format > Position and Size on the main menu bar, or right-click
on the object and select Position and Size from the context menu to open the Position and
Size dialog.
3) Click the Rotation tab to open the Rotation page.
4) In the Pivot point section, enter a figure in Position X and/or Position Y boxes to
reposition the pivot point relative to the top left corner of the drawing, or select a position for
the pivot point in Default settings. The default position for the pivot point is the center of
the object.
5) In the Rotation angle section, enter an angle in the Angle box by which to rotate the
object, or click and drag the Rotation Angle indicator in Default settings until you reach
the required angle. As you click and drag, the angle is shown in the Angle box.
6) Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
Flipping objects
Quick flipping
The quickest and easiest method to flip an object horizontally or vertically is as follows:
1) Select an object and the selection handles will be displayed.
2) Go to Modify > Flip and select Horizontally or Vertically on the main menu bar, or right-
click and select Flip > Horizontally or Flip > Vertically from the context menu, or click on
the vertical or horizontal Flip icons in the Position and Size subsection on the
Sidebar and the selected object will be flipped to face the other direction.
