The center of rotation

 is initially shown in the middle of the block. Click on or within the center of rotation, then drag it to any position in the drawing. This changes the pivot point around which the block rotates.

If you mirror a rotated area, this applies to the original shape before the rotate was applied. To apply it after the rotate, deselect and reselect the object.

Otherwise, if the rotated area was originally symmetrical only the mirror handle may appear to move.
