Rotating only selected anchor points - Illustrator

[dustinr25614762]

Hey

I was wondering if anyone knows a way to rotate (not just move around) only a few selected anchorpoints within the path of a shape. 

The most effective way I've come up with for doing this is: 

Select, copy paste, delete originals, rotate new shape, reconnect to original path.

Tedious, right? 

Does anyone know of a better way? 

Thanks!

Can you show before and after screen shots of what you are doing? Use the blue reply button on the first post.

If you select the points you want with the direct selection tool (white arrow), then use the rotate tool, it'll just rotate those points relative to each other.

Hi

We haven't seen a screen shot yet, so this may or may not be what you are looking for, but would Puppet Warp work for what you are doing?

It shares space with Free Transform (E), but does not have its own shortcut.
