I've been experimenting with the new Freeform app and the first thing I notice is there is no way to flip an object horizontally or even rotate it. Is there any way to do these things? For example if you insert a chair into a drawing it faces to the left. You can't insert a right-facing chair or simply flip horizontally the left-facing chair.
Thanks for any input
MacBook Air, macOS 13.1

You posted this in the Ventura forum. I just figured out how to do this on the iPad. Hopefully it is the same.
To rotate, press and hold inside an object, then with another finger, touch the trackpad and do the rotate guesture.
To flip, grab on of the resize handles and drag it towards the middle to make the object smaller. Keep going. Eventually it will flip in that orientation.
I see what you're saying but why is there not a simple menu selection to rotate an object, flip horizontal or flip vertical. Even the most basic image programs have something similar. Mind boggling!
One reason is because it's not an image program.
Another reason is, it’s made to work the same on iOS as macOS
how can I rotate or flip objects in new Freeform program?
