: How can I resize, rotate part of the path in Illustrator As a Photoshop user I don't know exactly how to rotate or resize only the part of the selected path in Illustrator. When I do this

Posted in: #AdobeIllustrator #Resize #Shapes #Tools

As a Photoshop user I don't know exactly how to rotate or resize only the part of the selected path in Illustrator. When I do this in Photoshop I simply select part of the path by using direct selection tool (with key A). Then I press Ctrl+T (or Cmd+T in Mac) and make a rotation only for selected points. This step by step guide does not work in Illustrator. Every time I select points and try to rotate them, all path rotates together with those points. But I want to rotate only selected points. How can I achieve this task in Adobe Illustrator. It sounds very stupid question, but by using keywords "rotate part, section of the path" in google it's impossible to find right answers, because those keywords has double meanings. Thank you for your help.

It works nearly the same. Select the points you want to rotate as you would in photoshop with the white direct selection tool (hit A). Then select the Rotate Tool (hit R). Grab a point and rotate.

Tips:

If you click once you will move the rotate pivot there.
If you alt click it moves the pivot there and opens up a dialog for typing exact values.
