This tutorial will show you how to master the 5 ways of rotating objects in Illustrator CS5. There are more ways then just using the rotate tool, including a 3D rotate tool that's rarely mentioned. The following methods are examined: 1.) Direct select rotate 2.) Transform panel rotation 3.) 3D rotation 4.) Rotate tool 5.) Rotate tool with modified reference point (Please note; if you're using a Mac instead of pressing the alt key, you should be pressing the command key). Method #5 is used in our compass video linked below and is useful to rotate objects around a circle or rotate objects around any reference point.
