How to rotate this into position?

[Mason Dixon]

I need to rotate these segments so the centerline of the center segment lines up with the big perpendicular line in the center. Having a brainfart and can't figure out to get it to snap in place. Thanks.

MOVE the segments from the "mid"point of that small middle guideline to "per"pedicular to that large line you want to align with.

 

Then rotate at that midpoint (use ortho, or precise angle of rotation (as ReMark notes below).

 

That assumes I understand what you're looking for.

Hi

I Think You Have To Do It In 2 Part. Frist Rotate The Segments Onto The Big Perpendiculiar Line Where Bottun Of The Small Centerline Intersect The Big Line Using The Big Line As Your Base Point. Part 2 Rotate The Segment Where Your Base Point Is Where Those Two Lines Intersect. I Hope This Help You Out.

All you have to know is the angle (please be precise) the two lines are drawn at then use the Rotate command with the Reference option. Done.

I've tried everybody's advice and the only thing I was able to do was use the MOVE command to move it over, but it still needs to be rotated a tiny bit.

 

On the left is the centerline of the middle segment. To the right is the perpendicular guideline I need to snap to. I hit properties on both lines to get the angle and the one on the left says 270 degrees, the one on the right 90, so that confuses me.

Try Rotate > Reference with the center of the arc as the basepoint

[ReMark]

Rotate > Reference. Now, where have I heard that before? LOL

 

I don't doubt you (the OP) tried everyone's suggestion but did you follow just some of the advice? Rotate > Reference will work best if you're accurate with the degree of rotation being something other than just the degrees. An angle in degrees, minutes and seconds might be necessary.

Ok, got it now, was selecting the wrong reference points. Thanks.

Am I missing something? Wouldn't Align be the least pain method?

I agree with JD, Align would be the best command to use for this.
