3 Ways to Rotate an Object in Adobe Illustrator

Rotating an object or rotating multiple objects in Adobe Illustrator can be pretty straightforward, but there are several ways to rotate objects. The first two are pretty straightforward and intuitive, using the direct select tool and rotate object window, but the 3rd way to rotate objects independently (transform each option) might be a new option you've never tried that could save you a lot of design time on your next graphic design project.

Wow, coool!
Rotate Each is one of those tools I though Illustrator was missing - glad I was wrong :)
Thanks for nice and concise tutorial!

I'm not sure if you've ever been told this, but you have a voice for radio or audio books.

Are those numbers expanded? Cause I have a problem trying to rotate a group of numbers as well and it's giving me weird rotation when I try to rotate them individually. I have also tried to resed the bounding box but still no luck
EDIT: it seems it has some problems for some reasons with some text objects, that when other text objects are selected with the "problematic ones", they rotate together instead of individually. To bypass the problem, I have to select fewer objects in smaller groups so that I avoid the problematic ones; this way it works, but it has to be done by trial and previews....
Hope this helps someone and thanks for the tutorial.

The rotation arrow is not showing in my illustrator while I'm pointing cursor on edge, ..what to do?

Maybe you know: is there a way to precisely rotate object by degree using keyboard?
(I mean, without opening Rotate menu)

Thanks in advance!
