You can rotate the selected objects by mouse, dragging them around a rotation reference point.

The rotation reference point is by default set on the center of the bounding box for a multi selection. For single objects, it is by default set on the hot-spot position.

1.	With the normal tool , select one or more objects.

2.	Click the rotate tool , and then drag a selection handle in the desired rotation sense.

Rotate objects (by mouse wheel)

1.	With the normal tool , select one or more objects.

2.	Click the rotate tool , hold CTRL pressed and then roll the mouse wheel forwards to rotate counter clockwise, or backwards to rotate clockwise. Note: this rotation is always around center, independently of the hot-spot position.
