Whether you’re designing a webpage or creating an immersive user interface, Figma is an incredibly useful tool. This design tool offers a variety of features that make the creative process more efficient and enjoyable. One of these features is the ability to rotate objects, which can be a game-changer when it comes to designing. In this blog post, we are going to walk you through how to rotate in Figma.
Step 1: Select the Object
The first step is to select the object you wish to rotate. This could be anything from a shape, an icon, an image, or even a text. To do this, simply click on the object. Once selected, you will notice a bounding box appear around it.
Step 2: Access the Rotate Tool
Now that you have your object selected, you can access the rotate tool. This can be found in the property inspector on the right side of your screen. The rotate tool is represented by a circular arrow icon, and next to it, there’s a field where you can enter the rotation angle.
Step 3: Rotate the Object
You can rotate the object in two ways:
- Manually: To manually rotate the object, hover your cursor over the rotate icon until it changes to a bi-directional arrow. Then, click and drag to rotate your object.
- Numerically: If you want more precision, you can enter a specific rotation angle in the field next to the rotate icon. Type in your desired degree and press enter. Note that a positive value will rotate the object clockwise, while a negative value will rotate it counter-clockwise.
Conclusion
And there you have it! That’s how simple it is to rotate objects in Figma. This feature is incredibly useful when you’re trying to create unique designs or when you just need to adjust the orientation of objects in your project. Keep experimenting with the tool, and you’ll be a Figma pro in no time!
