How to rotate objects?

Extremely basic question I'm guessing.
Simply need to rotate an object by a few degrees. Every time
I do this the object increases in size.
Don't want it to change size, just rotate.
Help documentation didn't seem to offer any insight into how
this works.

I think my questions is even more simple than that...
Not looking to have an object rotate, move, etc...
Just placing things on the stage. Wanted a rectangle drawing
object to be rotated slightly.
Using the "free transform" tool causes the object to
both
rotate
and
increase in size.
Is it possible to simply rotate an object on the stage
(without doing anything else to it ... just rotate it)?

  • How to rotate objects or pictures on my FP?

    Hi there,
    i'd like to rotate objects on my front panel programmatically, e.g. a pasted arrow to indicate a direction . As an alternative i could imagine to rotate a picture in some kind of AcvtiveX control. does anybody got a clue?
    thanks

    Rotating an arbitrary picture is just a transformation, should also be easy.
    I made a quick example (LabVIEW 7.1), see if it makes sense. Message Edited by altenbach on 03-22-2005 10:11 AM

  • Noob question, can't rotate object clockwise. Please see the pictures below.

    Hello everybody!
    I'm stuck at rotating objects as I tried to follow a tutorial.
    I think the answer is very simple, but because of my weak English, i can't even figure it out how to search for it on Google. tio
    So my question is how to rotate objects like this:
    Instead of this (That's how i can only rotate this object.):
    Thanks in advance!

    zollre,
    - before the value gives you clockwise. Basically, rotate angles are counterclockwise (with an implied + before the value).
    -20 degrees corresponds to 340 degrees (almost a full round counterclockwise).

  • Thought I knew Adobe...but can't figure out how to rotate an object in AdobeMUSE. Help?

    I can't figure out how to rotate an object in Adobe Muse. I want an object to be half a bubble off plumb.

    Hi ,
    You can rotate an object in Muse by using the Transform toolbar and selecting the rotation angle. Please refer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/52vtux
    However, if you want to create a circular looking object , then all you need to do is, set the corners as Rounded, Make the Height and Width Equal and then increase the corner radius. This would give you the desired result.
    Please refer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/52vu9n
    Hope this helps

  • How to always rotate objects around the same point, even using the right-click menu?

    I need some of my objects to always rotate around the same point. How can I select a point which will stay that way?
    Using the rotate tool resets after deselecting.
    Also, I'd like to rotate objects around a certain point even when using the right click > Transform > Rotate.
    Is it possible?

    Right, so this is where Illustrator falls short with respect you your need, but only in the sense that the reference point can't be made to stick. You can, however, use Smart Guides to make it so the point is easy to set at exactly the same location, (especially since your object has an anchor point there), manually before each rotation.

  • HT4641 How do I rotate objects and text ?

    I do not know how to rotate my document too change to landscape .  Want 11.5 x 8 . Thanks, Bill

    You don't rotate the document on an iPad; you can rotate the objects on the document.
    That said, you can't rotate in-line text and headers and footers, only text boxes and images/shapes.
    To rotate the document, you will need to export it to a Mac and change the orientation there in Page Setup. The iPad document setup is lacking this feature.
    Sorry.

    How to rotate a art board in a illustrator using adobe extended javascript
    how to create mirror image of each textframe content of artboard

    1. there's no "Rotate" function, you have to rotate all your objects and then "resize" your artboard to simulate rotation.
    2. there's no "Reflect" function either, to make "mirror" images, use the ScaleMatrix function, see this post

  • Rotating object to follow mouse

    Okay, say I have an object (a bee in this case) that I want
    to follow the
    mouse around, that part's easy:
    property my,oldLoc
    on beginSprite me
    my = sprite(me.spriteNum)
    oldLoc = my.loc
    end
    on exitFrame me
    my.loc = the mouseLoc
    if diff(my.locV,oldLoc.locV) + diff(my.locH,oldLoc.locH)
    > 5 then
    my.member = "BeeBuzz"
    else my.member = "BeeStill"
    oldLoc = my.loc
    end
    It even includes a cute little function to make the wings
    buzz when it's
    moving, and not when it's standing still. The tricky part is
    I want to have
    some way of making the bee rotate to move in the direction
    the mouse moves.
    This seems to *almost* work, except that when the locV
    doesn't change, it
    results in a divide-by-zero error:
    my.rotation = atan((oldLoc.locH - my.locH) / (oldLoc.locV -
    my.locV)) *
    57.2958
    I could check and artificially add a small amount to avoid
    the
    divide-by-zero, but that seems like a hash. Is there a better
    way to do
    this correctly?
    (And does anybody mind if I rant a bit about how all rotation
    properties in
    the program operate in degrees, while all the trig functions
    operate in
    radians? And the program doesn't include a method to convert
    between them
    either. That's just annoying.)

    Thanks. I generally try to avoid the Library behaviors
    because I've found
    that they mostly seem to be 98% unnecessary error-checking
    and 2% functional
    code, and it can often be very difficult to find and extract
    that tiny
    little bit of code that actually DOES anything. However, in
    this case I was
    able to pull a bit of useful code out of the Turn Towards
    Mouse behavior -
    extremely simplified of course. It didn't work at all out of
    the box. For
    the record, the code I used looks like this:
    angle = GetAngle(oldLoc - my.loc) - 90
    if my.rotation <> angle then my.rotation = angle
    With the following code copied (mostly verbatim, but
    simplified) from the
    Turn Towards Mouse:
    on GetAngle slope
    deltaH = slope[1]
    deltaV = slope[2]
    if deltaH then
    slope = float (deltaV) / deltaH
    angle = atan (slope)
    if deltaH < 0 then angle = angle + pi
    else
    if deltaV > 0 then angle = pi / 2
    else if deltaV < 0 then angle = (3 * pi) / 2
    else angle = 0
    end if
    return (angle * 180) / pi
    end GetAngle
    It seems to do pretty much what my original code did, only it
    considers
    those divide-by-zero situations separately as special cases.
    Still seems
    like more code than should be necessary to do what it does -
    this feels like
    the sort of thing that should be possible with 1-2 lines of
    code, but
    apparently it's not that simple...

  • Rotate Objects in smartform

    How can i do it?
    Thanks.

    hi,
    try the following steps :- 
    1. Goto your PAGE node.
    2. double-click it.
    3. under 3 tabs, there is middle tab 'OUTPUT OPTIONS'
    4. In that u will have 2 RADIO BUTTONS
    In that choose

  • Rotate object by Reference Point?

    I did a search on the forum on how to rotate an object by % using one of the object's reference points but came up empty.
    It seems like something I've overlooked. I'm sure there's data on it, but I can't find it. Can anyone show me how to do this.
    Thanks

    app.layoutWindows[0].transformReferencePoint = AnchorPoint.topLeftAnchor;
    myObject.rotationAngle = 30;

    There's no rotate command to rotate the document. Instead, rotate the iPad. If it doesn't rotate, turn off the Rotation Lock switch on the side of your iPad.

  • Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip?  I shot it so that it is sideways on my computer screen and I cant figure out how to rotate it.

    Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip in iphoto?  I shot it so that it plays sideways on my computer and I cannot figure out how to rotate it.  Thanks.

    You can't do that in iPhoto. You'll need a video editor like iMovie for the job.

    yes, i can downloaded the photo(s) and use preview or iphoto ot some other program to rotate each one, but it seems so awkward, inelegant and SLOW, just to take a quick peek at the five separate photos that someone sends.
    is there really not an app or some similar thing to help?  i recall downloaded an app for explorer on windows, to take care of the same problem...

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You'll need an application that edits the pics to do this: Acorn, Seashore, Photoshop Elements, Graphic Coverter are some, but there are many others - search on MacUpdate
    Of course, iPhoto will do this too.
