Press the left mouse button>> drag it to a different position >> release the mouse button. Without releasing the mouse button, drag it to a different position.

Now, release the mouse button.

Next let's learn to rotate an object.
To rotate objects,>>click on “Select one or more objects” tool. To rotate the objects, click on “Select one or more objects” tool.
point to the tools

Flip the selection horizontally,

Flip the selection vertically and

Rotate the selection.

The properties page has three tools

Flip the selection horizontally,

Flip the selection vertically

Rotate the selection.

To use these tools.
Click on pentane structure>> Select Rotate the selection>> move the mouse pointer Click on the Pentane structure.

Select Rotate the selection option.

Go to the Display area and place the mouse over the object.

Move the mouse pointer in clock-wise or anti-clock-wise direction.

Observe the rotation in the object.

Now, let's learn to flip objects.
