Take the square you want to move and align and drag one corner and snap in place where you want it. Now with that square selected hit ctrl2 and click on the corner that you want to be the pivot point and a little red circle will appear.

I got it working, nice that you made it the tip of the day.

Two-Point Rotate/Scale

Selecteer de vorm die je wilt draaien. Kies deze bewerking en klik op het punt waar de selectie omheen moet draaien (kan ook buiten de selectie liggen). Daar wordt een rode cirkel zichtbaar. Klik op het punt dat op een andere plaats moet komen en houd de muisknop ingedrukt. Beweeg dit punt met de linkermuisknop ingedrukt om de selectie te draaien. De geselecteerde vorm kun je vergroten of verkleinen door tegelijk de Shift-knop ingedrukt te houden.

Enjoy
