Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
In the Preview User Guide it says "Rotate a shape: Select the shape and place the pointer over it, place your thumb and a finger on the trackpad, then pivot them around each other as if you’re turning a jar lid."
Well I have tried and tried and tried and failed. All the shape does is move horizontally and vertically. Has this facility changed with the latest OS version and/or is there another way to achieve this?

When you say "a tad tricky" that implies there is a way to do it. I find it impossible. Is there a special place on the mousepad to put your fingers? Putting both fingers on the shape brings up the menu "Bring Forward, Bring to Front, Send Backward & Send to Back" and simply allows horizontal and vertical movement.
Just to add, make sure not to press down on the trackpad. Just rest them lightly.

No. It still works the same.
FWIW, etrecheck is correct, nothing has changed. However, just trying it myself it's a tad tricky to accomplish.
Well, I use my thumb and index finger. I don't put either on the shape but well outside it.
Brilliant! Thanks very much. Lightness of touch it is. At last I can finish my map.
You're welcome. Good to hear.
