The Rotate function is used to change the rotation angle of a drawing instance.

• A 2D rotation about the center of the drawing instance will change the rotation angle of the instance you selected, not of any of the other instances.

• The rotation angle value you enter is absolute according to the original placement of the instance, not relative as in XForm>Rotate.

• When a drawing instance that has layout-specific entities tagged to it, they will be rotated with the selected drawing instance, and by the same rotation angle.

 

Using the Function:

1. Select Rotate from the Layout>Instance Display submenu.

2. Select the instance you want to rotate. The instance becomes active.

3. Enter the new rotation angle and choose ACCEPT/OK; you can enter a ±360 degree angle value.
