stevsmith Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Firstly, Welcome to the forums. When rotating a drawing the first thing you have to do is select all the items that you wish to rotate. The second thing is to specify a base point.(this will be the point that the drawing will be rotated around.) The 3rd point is to enter the required angle. But please note that the specified angle will rotate anti-clockwise as default. If you wish to rotate the drawing in the opposite direction you have to add the subtract sign to rotate clockwise. Hope this helps. Quote
Car5858 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Select the rotate command> select objects>select base point of rotation> enter the angle you wish to rotate to (-90 ccw 90 cw)>enter. Heck Stev beat me to it. Quote
