# Rotating Elements

You can rotate any element. For example, if you have an arrow that you want to use, but you need it to point in a different direction you can make it point in any direction.

Here are ways to change an element's orientation:
- To rotate an element, select the element, click on the circular rotation handle and drag it to adjust the angle.

  Alternatively you can hold the [Command](Mac) or [Ctrl](Win) key and move the pointer toward an active selection handle until it changes to a curved, double-headed arrow, and then drag a selection handle.

- To rotate an element in 15-degree increments, hold down the [Shift] key while dragging.
- You can also click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Metrics button, and then drag the Rotate wheel or use the Angle controls to set the angle of the object.
