⭐️ Select the object you want to move.

⭐️ Then navigate to the Orient Tool in the Tool bar.

⭐️ Click where you’d like your rotation anchor point to be.

⭐️ Then click your outer point of the rotational arc.

⭐️ Now you can move your object along this rotation arc simply by clicking and dragging it.
