Rotating a Symbol

---

With the exception of the charge and the radical symbols, you can rotate the symbols by selecting and dragging the Rotation handle on the Selection Rectangle. All symbols are rotated around the same end from which they were originally drawn. For example, the radical cation symbol is rotated and resized from the charge. The Info window shows the angle that one of the ends of a symbol makes with the X-axis as you rotate symbols.

To rotate a chemical symbol:

1. Select the chemical symbol with a selection tool.

2. Drag the Rotation handle on the chemical symbol.
