Be able to take a shapefile, select a point (or point on a polyline or polygon) as the point to rotate from, then enter in a degree, minute and second + a clockwise or anti clockwise instruction, and have all points features etc within that shapefile rotate about the designated point.  Would be a fantastic addition for correction of survey data.

Although there are tools for Warp and Rotate for raster data, these (for some reason) were left out of the Editing toolbox.

We need Rotate Features and Warp Features tools!

ArcInfo Workstation tools can do this - but there are no tools to do so in ArcGIS Desktop.

8+ years later and this still isn't a tool?? Come on!! The only workaround aside from using manual editing tools is to convert vectors to raster, rotate and convert back to vector. I tried this with tessellation grids and it resulted in warped/distorted grids, whether run in Python 3 or manually in ArcGIS Pro 2.3.
