The Rotate function from the Effects drop-down button
on the Drawing toolbar and the Rotation Mode
after Clicking Object button on the Options toolbar
can be used in Edit Point mode. In this case, it can be
used to move single points around the contour of an
object.
Switch into rotation mode by clicking on either of the
rotation buttons. Notice that in rotation mode, all of the
tangent points become red dots.
Select the point to be moved and then drag it around the
contour while keeping the left mouse button pressed
down (➊). When you release the mouse button, the point
will be moved to the new position (➋).
If you move one of the handles located at the end of the
tangents during rotation, you will make the object rotate
in exactly the same way as with the usual rotation
operations.
Important: To exit the effects mode, do not just click on
the Effects button; click the Select button on the
Drawing toolbar.
