smstoankur Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 I want to rotate the line around the lower point such that it is touching both lines. Drawing2.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I always find that drawing a temporary circle helps with these rotation problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Like eldon, draw a circle with radius of the line, rotate>reference, Select center of circle (or associated end point of line) then intersection of line and circle (or associated end point of line), then select intersection of line and circle.
