If you’d like to change the incremental units, you can do so by going to Preferences (control + shift + p), then navigating to Behavior -> Steps and changing the value from 15 to whatever you’d like.Īnd that should do it for this lesson. This will confine the rotating to 15 degree increments. If you’d like to rotate object(s) incrementally, you can hold Control on your keyboard while clicking and dragging. You can rotate multiple objects around a point the same way you would a single object - by placing the little cross in the center of the design wherever you’d like the rotation point to be. Once you’ve selected multiple objects, you can rotate them the same way you’d rotate a single object - by clicking on one of them with the Select tool in order to bring up the rotation handles, then using the rotation handles to rotate your multiple objects. You can select multiple objects by holding Shift and clicking on each of them. All you have to do is select all of the objects you’d like to rotate.

Rotating multiple objects with Inkscape is similarly easy. You can click and drag that cross and place it anywhere you’d like on the canvas.

That cross represents the axis on which the object rotates. Once you bring up your rotation handles, you’ll see a tiny cross in the center of the object. Rotating an object around a point in Inkscape is quite simple.
