Can I rotate a line from a specific point in illustrator?

[Suraiya A]

Hello,

I was wondering can I rotate a line from a specific point in illustrator, in a 2D manner/world/environment/flat way/on artboard? I have attached an example. In 3D I rotated the cube from a specific point, But I wanna do it in illustrator in a 2D manner, from one point to another,One point will be fixed(pivot) The other point I wanna rotate. Just curious can I do it?

Thank you.

You may use the Rotate tool and set the reference point wherever you like.

Hello,

Rotate moves the entire line, It cant keep one part fixed. I have to eyeball or manually fix it each time.

- Rotate tool: Reference point at A (see red marker)

- Rotation: 45 degrees

Doesn't that work for you? Or are you looking for something else?
