# rotation element

The rotation element specifies the degree of rotation for an object.

This element does not appear in an exported XML file, but can be used to replace the transform element, which is not editable by the user. In the exported XML file, delete the transform element and insert the rotation element.

An XML import file with both the transform and rotation elements will fail validation.

The arc, wedge, roundedRectangle, and ellipse graphic object elements can contain the rotation element.
