How do you rotate in Adobe Animate?

Published in Adobe Animate 1 min read

You can rotate objects in Adobe Animate using the Transform tool. Here's how:

  1. Select the object(s): Use the Selection tool (the arrow) to click and drag a box around the object or objects you want to rotate on the Stage.

  2. Access the Rotate and Skew tool: Go to the top menu and select Modify > Transform > Rotate and Skew.

  3. Rotate the object:

    • Drag one of the corner handles of the bounding box that appears around your selected object. Moving the cursor will rotate the object.
  4. Skew the object:

    • Drag one of the center handles of the bounding box that appears around your selected object. Moving the cursor will skew the object.
  5. End the transformation: Click anywhere outside the selected object or objects to finalize the rotation.

In summary, Adobe Animate provides a straightforward method to rotate objects using the Rotate and Skew transformation, accessible via the Modify menu and controllable using the bounding box handles.
