You could also try another somewhat more advanced technique without having to move the hotpoint. Take the arrow and place the hotpoint at the end you want to move last. Group the arrow into a new group (yes, the only thing in the group will be the arrow). Move the hotpoint of the group to the other end of the arrow. Now, rotate the group through the first rotation. Then rotate the arrow inside the group for the second rotation. This basically allows you to have two hotpoints for the same object. Not as clean as Marks solution but this can really make a BIG difference for complex rotations in more than one plane. I've used it quite a bit in that fashion adding groups and hotpoints as needed. -Kix
