Select both openings.

Use the slidebar to rotate both openings, or enter 45 for the number of degrees of rotation.

Each opening rotates 45 degrees individually.

With both openings still selected, click Group Selection under Other Options.

The two openings are locked together as a single object (selection handles displayed exaggerated).

Enter 30 for the degrees of rotation.

The grouped opening now rotates as a single object.

Use the slidebar to further rotate the object, and see how this is different from simply selecting the individual openings and rotating them.
