Rotate Cursor

The Rotate Cursor is used to dynamically rotate objects on-screen.

When the Rotate Cursor button is checked and an object is selected, the object will display its normal handles plus its rotation centre. When the cursor is positioned directly over any part of the object’s outline, the cursor will change shape to indicate Rotate mode and you can rotate the object around its rotation center.

If you move the cursor over the object’s rotation centre it will change shape to include a circle. With the cursor in this state it is possible to move the rotation centre to any position. When you then go to rotate the object it will rotate about the newly positioned rotation centre.
