I commented that probably the best way to do this would be to require users to group shapes if they wanted them to be rotated as a group and the requested behaviour would be the default.
NO. I strongly disagree. This will break so many user's basic expectations - it will be a disaster.
It is not ideal but I think the messing required to have both types of rotation any other way will be even worse.
No messing. Just a checkbox in Transform for those who need it.
For what it is worth OpenOffice.org Draw rotates all objects in selection as one big group and doesn't seem to provide any other way to rotate.
Of course. It's the default everywhere. The other way is much more exotic.
