Geometry > Transform > Rotate

 

 

 

 

 

Axis & Angle

Specify an axis and an angle of rotation.

 

Select Objet Shape(s)

Select objects to be rotated.
Revolution Axis

Specify an axis of rotation.

 

Select Revolution Axis

Specify an axis (Datum Axis, Datum Plane, Face, Edge) of rotation.

Define Location

Define the location of selected revolution axis. The coordinate can be specified using Snap.

2 Point Vector

Select a direction of translation by a vector which is defined by two specified points. The coordinates of 2 points may be specified using Snap.

 

Move

This option moves the selected object(s).
Uniform Copy

The selected objects remain intact, and they will be copied in an uniform distance for the specified number of times.
Non-Uniform Copy

The selected objects remain intact, and they will be copied in user-defined distance. Non-uniform distance between each copied objects can be applied.
Angle

Specify an angle of rotation. For the case of Non-Uniform Copy, unequal translate distances can be entered using comma between them. If the same length is repeated, the symbol '@' can be used. (Ex : 10, 20, 25, 25, 25 or 10, 20, 3@25)

Number of Times

Enter the number of times to copy. This option is only active when Uniform Copy is selected.

Select Objet Shape(s)

Select objects to be roated.
Base Coordinate System

 

GCS

Specify an axis of rotation in the Global Coordinate System.

WCS

Specify an axis of rotation in the Work plane Coordinate System.
 

X-Axis

Rotate the selected objects about the X-axis.
Y-Axis

Rotate the selected objects about the Y-axis.
Z-Axis

Rotate the selected objects about the Z-axis.
Define Location

Define the location of the revolution axis. The coordinate can be specified using Snap
Move

This option moves the selected object(s).
Copy

This option copies the selected object(s).
Number of Times

Enter the number of times to copy. This option is only active when Uniform Copy is selected.
