3 Ways to Rotate an Object in Adobe Illustrator

[@CaryHawkins]

Were you aware of the last method of rotation in this tutorial?

[@ibidesign]

Nope. Thanks!

[@larrybates7241]

NO i wasnt. I do some similar work and Ive been trying to figure this out. I finally searched and lo and behold. thanks! FOLLOW!

Wow, coool! Rotate Each is one of those tools I though Illustrator was missing - glad I was wrong :) Thanks for nice and concise tutorial!

[@wallaceflowers]

I'm not sure if you've ever been told this, but you have a voice for radio or audio books.

[@CaryHawkins]

I actually do a bit of that on the side. Caryvo.com.

Are those numbers expanded? Cause I have a problem trying to rotate a group of numbers as well and it's giving me weird rotation when I try to rotate them individually. I have also tried to resed the bounding box but still no luck EDIT: it seems it has some problems for some reasons with some text objects, that when other text objects are selected with the "problematic ones", they rotate together instead of individually. To bypass the problem, I have to select fewer objects in smaller groups so that I avoid the problematic ones; this way it works, but it has to be done by trial and previews.... Hope this helps someone and thanks for the tutorial.

[@CaryHawkins]

Good tip. Hopefully this helps others. I've not had this issue before.

My rotation and size tool disappeared on me having me to do it hard way how to I turn it back on ?

[@alexschmiedel]

same!

[@arneverlinde5910]

for the people that are searching for this you can find it under "view => show bounding box" or Ctrl + shift + B.

Community to the rescue!

Maybe you know: is there a way to precisely rotate object by degree using keyboard? (I mean, without opening Rotate menu) Thanks in advance!

[@CaryHawkins]

Not that I'm aware of. You can hold shift to do cardinal directions, but nothing to do non-cardinal degrees.
