Hello

Is there a tool or plugin to rotate a polygon path by typing in the values without changing the lengths of its adjacent paths?

Thank you.

I'm sorry, I described it wrong.
follow the correct one:

Can you post a sketch that shows what exactly you're looking for?

rotate a polygon path by typing the value while maintaining angles

[Kurt Gold · Accepted solution]

You can do that with the Shear tool.

Remember to set appropriate reference points.

[Abilio_Fernandes5961]

Is there a way to always use 0 degrees as the horizontal for the :Shear tool's tilt value? Regardless of the path's tilt before using the command?

Thanks

another way...but perhaps not what you need

1. deselect the path

2. click on a Segment with the Direct Selection Tool (White Arrow)

3. now select the Rotation Tool (R) and Alt/Option + Click on one of the Segment's Anchors

4. a Rotation Dialog should pop out, enter the Rotation Angle

5 press OK
