# Using the Flip and Rotate tools

Any selected shape can be rotated about its center point by any amount. To do this, select the shape(s) then use the "Edit/Rotation/Clockwise" or the "Edit/Rotation/Counter-Clockwise" options. If you want to set the angle by which an object is rotated, use to "Edit/Rotation/Set angle" option.

To flip an object about its x-axis use the "Edit/Flip/Horizontal" option. To flip about the y-axis use "Edit/Flip/Vertical". Remember that the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis of a shape is its center point (defined using the "Edit/Recenter" option. Before flipping or rotating a shape, first make sure that its center point is defined appropriately.
