Adding a Rotation Element

Use the CBElement command with the Rotation option to add a rotation element to a CustomBlock definition.

A rotation element specifies an angle property for the Block reference. The software adds the grip point at the specified angle.

You can add only one grip point at the specified angle to the element.

To add a rotation element:

1. Type CBElement at the command prompt.
2. Specify the Rotation option.
3. Optionally, specify the properties:
   • Name
   • Label
   • Chain
   • Description
   • Palette
   • Value set

   You can always modify the element properties in the Properties palette.

4. In the graphics area, specify the base point.
5. Specify the radius of the element.
6. Specify the rotation angle.
7. Specify the position of the label in the CustomBlock definition.
8. Specify the number of grip points to appear in the Block reference:
   • 0. No grip points.
   • 1. One grip point at the endpoint of the element.
