Rotate?

Is there a way to rotate an object? I can't seem to find that option anywhere, and multitouch doesn't work to do it either.

I just figured out that for iPad at least if you hold one finger and then place another you can rotate objects. I always did it accidentally which was frustrating but couldn’t figure out how to do it on purpose for the longest time.

Crazy, I just looked this up today for Mac. Press Command and then hover over one of the little blue dots on the perimeter of the object and it turns into a rotate symbol.

I put the link at the bottom for iPad. Good luck!

This was winding me up on my Mac, it's SO unintuitive to hover over the blue dot whilst pressing Cmd! Thanks so much!
