How to rotate text independently from a graphic in draw

I’ve been trying to enter text into a pre-rotated image (graphic) in draw but when I try to rotate just the text, the image I’m entering it into will rotate as well. Is there any easier way to fix this other than creating text boxes over the images? Because I really don’t want to do that… Thanks!

Try inserting a new layer and using that as your text layer.

Insert/Layer…

There are options if you right click the layer tab at the bottom.

Layout tab = Background Layer

How exactly do the layers work? I’ve been messing around with them and it seems as though (unlike photoshop) all objects can be accessed from any layer?

All objects can be selected and edited until a particular layer is locked. Any objects on that layer cannot be selected/edited until you unlock the layer.

To Lock/Unlock

Right click on the layer tab at the bottom and select Modify Layer…
