Rotate Arrow Tool

Drag selected objects with this tool to rotate them—that is, to turn them around a center point by any desired angle without changing their distance from the center, their size or their shape.

The center point used for rotation is the point you marked most recently using the Mark Center command. If you haven’t marked a center point, Sketchpad automatically marks the point nearest to the center of the screen.

You can also mark a point as the center of rotation by double-clicking it with an Arrow tool.

You can use the Rotate Arrow tool to select and deselect objects, press action buttons, and construct points of intersection just like the other Selection Arrow tools.
