To change the rotation origin:
1. Select the Rotate Tool on the Tools toolbar and click to select
the object.
2. Move the rotation origin away from its original position in the
centre of the object to any position on the page. The origin can also be
moved to be outside the object—ideal for rotating grouped objects
around a central point.
3. Drag the rotate pointer to a new rotation angle—the object will rotate
about the new pivot.
To rotate an object 90 degrees left or right:
• Select the object and choose the Rotate Left or Rotate
Right command from the Arrange menu.
Cropping and combining objects
Cropping means masking (hiding) parts of an object, for example to improve
composition or to create a special effect. The underlying object is intact. Two
types of cropping are possible—square cropping or irregular cropping.
square crop irregular crop
Combining starts with more than one object, but creates a special composite
object with one or more "holes" on the inside where the component objects' fills
overlapped one another—useful for creating mask or stencil effects.
