Rotate objects

Rotating an object turns it around a fixed point that you designate. The default reference point is the object’s center

point. If you have multiple objects in a selection, the objects will rotate around a single reference point, which is the

center point of the selection or bounding box by default. To rotate each object around its own center point, use the

Transform Each command.
