Bonjour Hans,

Yes it is possible.
Select objects that you want rotate and in the menu "Command" choose "Rotate".

Hi,
Thank you,
Is it possible to do this also with tappig with Fingers, like moving objects? If not, is there a chance to do this in the near future?

I suspect Eric has not done this because freehand rotation would not be very precise. Freehand dragging is OK because you can snap to a grid point or point on another object.

Yes, it is a raison.
Another is the time.

Hello hans,

I think you have made a good point. Of course a rotation tool by tapping can only work if it can also snap. There are more succesful implemented examples like this. A way wich is more used is tapping once, the item is selected, tapping twice the rotate modus starts. Then you select first the corner where to rotate about, and you select a second point that now glues to your finger or stylus. Now you can move towards a snap point or decide intuitively where to tap. The actual solution for rotation is ok, but this would be a welcome addition. :shock:
