With the bicycle copy still selected, position the pointer off the left edge and drag
clockwise. As you are dragging, hold down the Shift key. When the measurement label
shows -90°, release the mouse button and then release the modifier key.
The Shift key constrains the rotation to 45° as it is reflected. Leave the new bicycle
where it is for now. You'll move it a bit later.
Rotating objects
You rotate objects by turning them around a designated reference point. There are lots of
ways to do this, including methods that range from more precise to more free-form rotation.
Next, you'll precisely rotate one of the wheels using the Rotate command.
