Usage

  1. Select an object in the tree view.
  2. Use the Edit → Placements... entry in the top menu.
  3. Change the parameters for the translation or rotation, according to the desired action.
  4. Press either the OK or Apply button.

Note: For a more detailed description see Tasks Placement and Placement
