Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Where is the rotation handle?

  • Solution: After selecting the icon, a circular rotation handle will appear above the icon. Hovering the mouse over it will change the cursor to a rotation arrow shape.

Question 2: How to rotate in increments of 15°?

  • Solution: Hold down the Shift key while dragging the rotation handle, and the icon will automatically snap to angles in multiples of 15°, facilitating precise alignment.

Question 3: What is the difference between Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical?

  • Solution: Flip Horizontal creates a left-right mirror image, swapping the icon's left and right sides; Flip Vertical creates an up-down mirror image, swapping the icon's top and bottom.

Question 4: How to restore the icon to its horizontal state?

  • Solution: Enter 0 in the rotation input box in the object properties and press Enter; the icon will return to its original angle.
