LESSON 8-1 : Using the Rotate, Scale, and Follow-Me Tools

Using Some New Tools

Here, we’ll learn to use the Rotate, Scale, and Follow-Me tools.

• The Rotate tool does just what it sounds like - it rotates objects. You can use this tool not only to rotate whole objects, but also parts of objects if you select a part of the object and then fold it across edges.

• The Scale tool lets you enlarge and reduce objects as you like. This is a useful tool in case you want to make changes to an object’s size at any time.

• The Follow-Me tool lets you move 2D shapes along paths you’ve specified to create 3D shapes. It’s very cool to watch.
