Do one of the following:

  • Click Rotate Clip (Routing Tools toolbar).

  • Click Routing, Routing Tools, Rotate Clip.

  • While editing the route assembly (but not editing the route sketch) right-click a component of the route assembly, select Add/Edit Mates (Rotate Clip), and then select one of the following:

      • Align Axis. Aligns the component's axis with an edge or axis in the assembly. The component must have an axis named "Clip Axis." A parallel mate is added between the clip axis and the selected edge or axis in the assembly.
