Description |
| Reference Line |
Insert the reference line that the rotated object will be relative to.
|
| Mode |
Select the method used to update the objects rotation:
Parallel - Apply a rotation around the vertex of the selected object so that it is parallel to the reference line.
Orthogonal - Apply a rotation around the vertex of the selected object so that it is orthogonal to the reference line.
|
| Object |
Insert a point, block, image or text to rotate. |
|
| Notes |
- Objects are rotated around their vertex.
- When picking a reference line from the model view, the location on the line where you click determines the line direction.
- For blocks, the z direction is made parallel or orthogonal to the line.
- For images and symbols, the up direction is made parallel to the line.
- Text is rotated so that it reads left to right but is still orthogonal or parallel to the line.
- Press the Ctrl key then click in the model view to input a non physical reference line.
