Chapter 22 Moving, Rotating, & Resizing Entities
To rotate a selection set about a point you enter
1 Select the entity or entities to rotate.
2 On the Edit menu, click Transform, Rotate, or click the Rotate button on
the All-In-One toolbar.
3 Enter a value in the Selection Set Angle text box on the edit bar and press
ENTER.
4 (optional) Check the Copy or Move check box on the edit bar to rotate a
copy of the selection set and leave the original.
5 Enter the rotation basepoint.
NOTE
Some entities, such as raster images and OLE objects, cannot be
rotated.
Align rotates and moves the selection set. Aligning is useful when you know
the location and angle you want for a particular selection, but you don’t
know the exact angle measurements and distance. When you align, you
simply enter two points to define the current location and orientation of the
selection set, and another two points that define the new location and angle.
To align entities along a new axis
1 Select the entity or entities to align.
2 On the Edit menu, click Transform, Align, or click the Align button on the
All-In-One toolbar.
3 (optional) Check the Copy or Move check box on the edit bar to align a
copy of the selection set and leave the original.
