Rotating Entities¶

Use the Rotate command to rotate entities through an angle, about a base point.

To rotate entities:

Click Modify > Rotate (or type Rotate).
In the graphics area, select entities to rotate.
Press Enter.
Specify the pivot point.

The pivot point is the point about which rotation occurs, typically a corner or a center of an entity. If the base point is the corner of a specified entity, the entities rotate on that corner. If the base point is the center of a specified entity, the entity stays in the same relative position, but spins about the base point.
Enter the rotation angle or specify an option:
- Reference. Specify a reference angle, then enter the new angle.
  
  To specify the new angle in the graphics area, specify the Point option.
  
  The selected entities rotate as specified.
- Copy. Creates a copy of the specified entities.
  
  To create multiple copies, specify the Multiple option, then specify new reference angles.
  
  To finish duplicating entities, press Enter.
