: Can I rotate an object clockwise or counterclockwise around its center handle using shortcut keyboard keys in Illustrator CS5? I am reproducing a poster from an image that I've placed in the

I am reproducing a poster from an image that I've placed in the background. There are a lot of rotated objects, graphics, text all of which I would like to line up with the original image. I've been rotating manually and I sometimes have the need to fine tune the position and rotation by small increments. Position is straight forward with arrows. Are there any shortcut keys for rotating? The fine tuning is a bit tricky for me because I am using a trackball mouse (CST 1545 trackball - Very comfortable but not as precise)

There is keyboard shortcuts for this: select the object, press R and then Enter to bring up Rotate tool dialog, Alt+P to enable Preview checkbox, Alt+A to return focus back to Angle field. You may keep holding Alt button while pressing P and A. Press Enter when done.

Select the object
Double click the Rotate Tool
Tick the Preview box
Use the arrow keys in the Angle field

You can also Option/Alt-click with the Rotate Tool on the artboard (rather than step 2 above) to set the rotation point, then bring up the dialog box.
