Thanks for the quick replies everyone. I was surprised that there was no free-rotation tool or command in a drop down menu. Hopefully in a future update, there will be one.

Hello,

I have version 0.48 of Inkscape. I looked on the forum for free rotation of an object but could not find any posts for it. The only rotation seems to be 90 degrees. Is there a way to rotate an object freely? Thanks for any help.
