How to Rotate Objects in Inkscape

[@billholder253]

Hope you can help me out. After drawing a hexagon, selecting it, double-clicking on it so as to rotate - that works ok. When trying to rotate, it becomes distorted. I have tried holding the CTRL key by chance, nope that did not work, the ALT key, nope that too did not work. The SHIFT key simply rotates it from one point of the hexagon and also the hexagon shape also distorts. Any idea as to what I might be doing wrong? I trying to a Tea Lantern Light with six decorated walls, just simply want to rotate the hexagon, add in a slot and repeat, that is all.

Found my problem, saw where I had made the height and the width 90mm each. It does not work that way. Only needed to have changed the height. Sorry to have bugged you.
