<b>Rotating Objects Locally Using Snap Points</b>
The simplest and quickest way to rotate an object locally is to hover your mouse over a snap point of an object to highlight it. Then type the keyboard shortcut '''R''' to enable the Rotate Tool. A trident depicting a local coordinate system appears at the selected snap point. You can now rotate the selected object by the desired angle. Bear in mind that each snap point has a default axis of rotation. You can cycle through the three rotational axes using the '''Up Arrow''' or '''Down Arrow''' keys. You can also constrain the angle of rotation to 15° increments by holding down the '''Shift Key'''. Left click to complete the rotation.
