How to Rotate in Adobe Dimensions?

To rotate objects in Adobe Dimensions, use the handles provided by the Select Tool.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

1. Activate the Select Tool: Press the "V" key on your keyboard to activate the Select Tool. This is your primary tool for manipulating objects in the scene.

2. Select the Object: Click on the object you want to rotate in the canvas. A bounding box will appear around the selected object, indicating that it is active. Double-clicking may select a material within the object.

3. Rotate the Object: Once the object is selected, you'll see handles on the bounding box. Hover your cursor near the corner handles of the bounding box. The cursor will change to a curved arrow. Click and drag to rotate the object around its axis.

Key Tips for Rotating Objects:

• Constrain Rotation: Hold down the Shift key while rotating to constrain the rotation to 45-degree increments. This helps you achieve precise and aligned rotations.
• Adjust Rotation Center: The rotation occurs around the object's center point by default. You can adjust the pivot point by going to the object properties and setting the rotation center.
• Precise Rotation Values: For precise control, use the Properties panel. With the object selected, the Properties panel will display rotation values (X, Y, and Z axes). You can enter specific degree values for each axis to achieve the exact rotation you need.
• Undo: If you make a mistake, press Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Cmd+Z (Mac) to undo the last action.

By understanding these steps and tips, you can effectively rotate objects in Adobe Dimensions to create visually appealing and accurate designs.
