Rotating Entities
Use the Rotate command to rotate entities through an angle, about a base point.
To rotate entities:
- Click Modify > Rotate (or type Rotate).
- In the graphics area, select entities to rotate.
- Press Enter.
- Specify the pivot point.
The pivot point is the point about which rotation occurs, typically a corner or a center of an entity. If the base point is the corner of a specified entity, the entities rotate on that corner. If the base point is the center of a specified entity, the entity stays in the same relative position, but spins about the base point.
- Enter the rotation angle or specify the Reference option to enter a reference angle, then enter the new angle.
The specified entities rotate as specified.
When you rotate, set the Ortho mode to constrain the angle of rotation to 90° intervals.
