Once you’ve selected multiple objects, you can rotate them the same way you’d rotate a single object - by clicking on one of them with the Select tool in order to bring up the rotation handles, then using the rotation handles to rotate your multiple objects. You can select multiple objects by holding Shift and clicking on each of them. All you have to do is select all of the objects you’d like to rotate. Rotating multiple objects with Inkscape is similarly easy. You can click and drag that cross and place it anywhere you’d like on the canvas. That cross represents the axis on which the object rotates.

Once you bring up your rotation handles, you’ll see a tiny cross in the center of the object. Rotating an object around a point in Inkscape is quite simple.
