Description This command is used to rotate selected objects about a specified rotation 'base' point, in the current document.

Use After launching the command, the cursor will change to a square and you will be prompted to select objects to include in the rotation. Simply position the cursor over an existing object that you wish to include in the selection and click. Clicking away from an object allows you to drag a selection area, for including multiple objects in the selection. Selection is cumulative.

Continue adding objects to the selection and then right-click when all required objects have been selected.

You will then be prompted to select a base point. This is the point about which rotation will occur. Move the cursor to the require location and click to define this base point.

The Enter Value dialog will now appear, from where you can enter a value for the rotation, in degrees. After clicking OK, the selection will be rotated about the base point and by the rotation angle specified.

Continue selecting and rotating further objects or right-click or press ESC to exit.

Notes When specifying the rotation angle, enter a positive value for anti-clockwise rotation, or a negative value for clockwise rotation.
