Using the Symbol Spinner tool
Use the Symbol Spinner tool to orient the symbol instances in a set. Symbol instances located near the cursor orient in the direction you move the cursor. As you drag the mouse, an arrow appears above the cursor to show the current orientation of symbol instances.
To rotate symbol instances: Select the Symbol Spinner tool and click or drag in the direction you want the symbol instances to orient.
To set options for the Symbol Spinner tool: - Open the Symbolism Tools Options dialog box, and set the general options as desired. (See Setting options for symbolism tools.)
- Click the symbol spinner icon in the dialog box.
- Choose an option from the Method pop-up menu, and click OK:
- User Defined to orient the symbol instances in the direction of the cursor.
- Random gradually to orient the symbol instances randomly.
- Average to gradually smooth the orientation of all symbol instances.
