The Objects menu will transform selected nodes using the current settings for each transformation command.
To transform nodes with the current settings:
Select the nodes you want to transform.
Choose Objects > Transform Selected Nodes and choose a command:
Flip (Ctrl+Shift+F) Moves selected nodes along the vertical axis—those on top go the bottom and vice versa. Applied to a single node, the control arms (if any) will flip.
Mirror (Ctrl+Shift+M) Moves selected nodes along the horizontal axis—those on the left go to the right and vice versa. Applied to a single node, the control arms (if any) will mirror.
Rotate Rotates the selected nodes by the current rotation setting. Applied to a single node, the control arms (if any) will rotate.
Skew X Moves selected nodes to the left or right (along the horizontal axis) using the current skew setting.
Skew Y Moves selected nodes to the left or right (along the vertical axis) using the current skew setting.
Contract (F8) Moves the selected nodes closer to each other by the current contraction setting. Cannot be applied to a single node.
Expand (F9) Moves the selected nodes away from each other by the current expansion setting. Cannot be applied to a single node.
