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.

- 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?

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