Beginners' Questions Straightening rotated objects.

    I have an object. Let's say a star for example, but it can be all kinds of objects.ย 
    Thisย star is a bit rotated. It's neither vertically nor horizontally straight.ย 
    How do I rotate it so two of its points are perfectly horizontal or perfectly vertical?ย 
    Rotating it in 90, 60, 45, 30ยฐ doesn't solve anything of course, as it's already rotated a bit.ย 
    Even a rotation of 1ยฐ doesn't really solve it, because it's not going to be exactly horizontal/vertically.ย

    Ah, with an auxiliary, horizontal line. That would work indeed! Thanks! So there is no direct way, I reckon.ย 

    Still: thanks!!!!!!!ย
