    ROTATE

  • To rotate by increments, type a value in the Step Angle box on the ribbon.

  • You can click Rotate before you select elements to rotate.

  • You can use relationship indicators to define the rotation 'from' and 'to' points.

  • Instead of using Copy on the ribbon to copy the rotated elements, you can hold CTRL while you click to define the 'to' point.

  • Relationships between elements within the selection set are maintained if the relationships still apply after the elements have been rotated.

  • You can use other view manipulation commands, such as Zoom and Pan, while you are using Rotate.

When you finish manipulating the view, the software returns you to Rotate at the point where you left off.
