Use the Rotate Handle

You can rotate a symbol about its center with the symbol rotate handle. The rotate handle appears as a green circle to the right of the symbol. Dragging the rotate handle closer to the center of a symbol's range box causes the symbol to rotate at larger angles. Dragging the rotate handle further away from a symbol's center causes the symbol to rotate at smaller angles.

1. On the Schematic toolbar, click the Select Tool .
2. Click on the first arrow to select it.
3. Using the rotate handle , rotate the symbol up and to the left until the Angle readout reads 30°.

Note

• When you place the cursor over the rotate handle, the rotation symbol appears.

4. Move the second arrow up three grid spaces and centered between the first and third arrow symbols. Rotate the second symbol up and to the left until the Angle readout reads 15°.

Note

• As you rotate the symbol, the degree of rotation appears in red just below the rotation axis.

5. Move the third arrow up four grid spaces and centered between the second and fourth arrow symbols. Rotate the third symbol down and to the right until the Angle readout reads -15°.
6. Move the fourth arrow up three grid spaces. Rotate the fourth symbol down and to the right until the Angle readout reads -30°.
7. Scroll left until all four arrows are visible in the document.
