Figure 41: Editing an arc

If you click and hold the mouse button when the hand cursor appears, moving the

mouse will change the location of the start or end point of the arc. The actual

coordinates are shown in the Status Bar (see lower left graphic in Figure 40.

Rotating and shearing an object using the mouse

Use the red rotation handles to either rotate an object around an axis or slant or

shear the object.

Rotating

To rotate an object (or a group of objects), drag a red corner handle point of the

selection with the mouse. The mouse cursor takes the shape of an arc of a circle with

an arrow at each end. A dotted outline of the object being rotated appears and the

current angle of rotation is dynamically shown in the status bar.

Note

Rotation works in a slightly different way for 3D objects because the

rotation occurs in 3D space and not in one plane. See Chapter 7 (Working

with 3D Objects) regarding rotation when the Edit Points mode is active.

Rotations are made about an axis which is displayed as a small symbol. This is

normally located at the midpoint of the object, but you can move the axis of rotation

with the mouse to any location you like, even outside the object.

If you hold down the Shift key during the rotation, the operation will be carried out in

increments of 15° (subject to whether Snap position is set to When creating or

moving objects under Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Draw > Grid).
