Rotate tool Alt click and Wacom tablet
Hey :)
I use illustrator CC 2017.
I use my Wacom intuos for almost everything since it is easier and I am comfortable to it than using mouse.
I use Rotate tool to copy objects in circle with a center point.( Select Rotate tool, Hold Alt and click to choose the center of the object) .
When I use wacom tablet to achieve this, the Center point keeps floating with the mouse pointer. I have to use my mouse to click to set a center point.
I have used it in multiple computers and with other wacom devices too. I am not sure if its a bug, but it would be really great if you could fix it :)
Regards,
Arun

The problem also seems to go away if you just wait for a little while outside of Illustrator. This bug (if that's what it is) makes it impossible to use the Rotate Tool with the Alt/Option key while working on a tablet. I have both a Wacom Intuos and a Huion, and it's happening with both tablets, although it's much worse with the Wacom. The Wacom exibits the same behaviour on other occasions, usually when the Alt/Option key is pressed (like for zooming) and the cursor is somewhere near an anchor point.

I also see this with simple click operations. There this very minimal lagg. I also see the CPU peak a bit than when i check Activity Monitor and check the cores using CMD + 3. Im not sure this is a wacom thing because in other version i did not have this issue. Its annoying AH this lack, complete ruins a smooth design process. Perhaps its time to shift to Afinity designer now... :(
Its not a GPU issue because its still there with GPU OFF. Its not there when using the trackpad.

Same issue, been there for a while and very frustrating, but some ease will be given from Ctrl+Y (temporary disabling the GPU) and turning it back again after the point has been set....which actually do not work any more as the AI 23 has outline gpu support... so Ctrl+E will do the job as suggested earlier.
BUT...with la

Same problem with Cintiq on Illustrator CC 2019. Annoying.

I got this problem too. The only way to do Alt click rotate is View using CPU. I have to hit Ctrl E to change back and forth between views. This is really inconvenience. Hope Adobe can somehow fix this problem soon. Bug as of December 2018.

OK. I think I figured it out on a PC. Go to outline mode (ctrl + Y). Click the rotate tool, move the rotation center to where you want. Hovering and Alt +Click on rotation center will show up the double arrow for duplicate function. Then, Alt + click a second time for the 3 dots to show and the Rotate tool box will appear. Hope this works for you!

I have the same problem. Alt + click Rotate does not work on my PC illustrator at work. I was trying to use it on my PC laptop at home at it didn't work. I thought it was just buggy cause my laptop is slow. I have a new computer a work and it doesn't work. I think this function works more smoothly with MAC computers. :( Can you pls fix this bug adobe??
