The "Rotate Tool" works much like to Transform Tool except for when multiple Handles are selected. To see this, select multiple Handles, by either:

  • Pressing ControlA to select all Handles
  • Dragging a rectangle around a group of Handles
  • Holding the Control key while clicking Handles to toggle their selected status

Then drag one of the selected Handles. All the selected Handles will move, rotating about the center of the selected group.

The "Rotate Tool" has a tool option, "Allow scale", to allow the selected Handles to be scaled and rotated at the same time.
