Note: The information below applies to the move function. Axial Trans/Rotate Copy is the same, except it copies the selected geometry, instead of moving it.

This function moves and rotates entities such that a specified axis is parallel to a target axis.

  3. When one of the coordinate axes is selected, a virtual axis is displayed.

  4. Specify a target axis. The entities are rotated making its axis parallel to the target axis, around the origin.
