You only need to display rotation guides - make two rounded double-ended arrows on either side of the rotation point, which would also be hi-lighted. Dragging these transforms (rotates), dragging the rotation point moves it along the guide.
The problem is that those arrows would be very close to the rotation point and therefore not very precise. One could drag them away from the point before rotating but it's rather annoying to do it every time.
- What is the effect of "convert to path"?
It could convert to a line, but there's the problem of infinity of length. Would it ever really make sense to do this? Why not just align an svg object? This could be made more precise if we had an angle snapping mode.
This is necessary for e.g. cutting shapes. A safe option would be to convert to a line that extends to the edges of the geometric box of the entire drawing.
- Can I put text on it, and if yes, then where does it start?
Just align the text - no need for this.
Aligning never rotates the aligned object, and in the case of an angled guide aligning the baseline of text to its rotation point is not something the user would want. Moreover if the guide is rotated, the text should rotate as well. So we need 'text on path' for this.
