Adjusting the Orientation of the Pattern
2 Make a horizontal guide somewhere near the control path. To make the guide, choose View > Show Rulers (if the rulers are not already displayed), click the top ruler, and drag it to the desired position.
3 Choose Edit > Select All.
4 Zoom-in on the control path.
5 Click the left anchor of the control path and drag it towards the guide until a text label hint identifies the guide path. The control anchor is positioned precisely on the guide.
6 With the entire pattern still selected, click the rotate tool. Click once the left control anchor to set the point of origin of rotation. Then click the top anchor of the control path and drag it in a circular motion towards the guide until a text label hint identifies the guide path. The pattern snaps to the required orientation.
7 You do not need the guide any longer. Delete it by choosing View > Guides > Clear Guides.
