Rotating Objects

Rotating objects using mouse

  1. Place cursor over rotation marker.
  2. Press left mouse button.
  3. Hold the mouse button down, and then drag the cursor to the desired location in the Slide. Dotted frame, which is moving along with cursor, indicates new location of the object's placeholder.
  4. Release the mouse button.

To interrupt rotation of the object, press Esc key.

It is also possible to rotate several objects at once. Allocation of selected objects in relationship to each other will remain unchanged.

To specify precise value for the angle of object's rotation

  1. Select desired object.
  2. Open Format dialog window. To do that press F3 key, or select Format option from Object's context menu, or press Format button in the Container group of the Main tab.
  3. Proceed to Size tab.
  4. Specify desired object's angle of rotation by supplying new value for the Rotation field.

You can also use Format window to specify angle of rotation for several selected Objects. When dialog window is opened, the Rotation field will be populated with the value, only if this value is identical for all selected Objects. If you leave the field empty, angle of rotation will remain unchanged for each Object. If the value is specified, all selected Objects will be rotated by the same angle.

IMPORTANT! The Browser’s capabilities are used for Object rotating when displaying the learning Module. Due to some Browser limitations, the quality of the rotated Object can be affected.
