How do you rotate 90 degrees in Illustrator?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:29 pm

There are a few ways to rotate an object in Illustrator. One way is to use the rotate tool (R). To rotate an object clockwise, hold down the Shift key and drag the cursor around the object. To rotate an object counter-clockwise, hold down the Ctrl key and drag the cursor around the object.

PRO TIP: When rotating an object in Illustrator, be aware that the object will rotate around its center point. To change the center point, select the object, then click on the “Transform” panel (found under the Window menu).Click on the “Reference Point” icon and choose one of the nine reference points. The object will now rotate around the new reference point.

To rotate an object by a specific angle, use the rotate command (R) and enter a number in the angle field. For example, to rotate an object by 45 degrees, enter 45 in the angle field.
