This command allows you to rotate the selected entities from the drawing. The rotation angle is defined by the difference between a reference line and an entered bearing or azimuth. The reference line is defined by two points that can be picked on the screen or entered by point number.
Select entities to rotate.
Select objects: select the entities
Base pivot point ?
Pick point or point number: 2
The program then reads the coordinate value for pt#2 from the
current CRD file.
Reference Bearing point ?
Pick point or point number: pick a point
Reference Bearing N 44d31'1" E The program then displays the
reference bearing defined
by the two points selected.
Azimuth/<Bearing (Qdd.mmss)>:
245.3030 Enter an A to input an Azimuth or enter the
bearing.
The above response is a bearing of South 45 degrees, 30 minutes, and 30
seconds East. The program then rotates the database to the new bearing.
If Carlson Points are selected the program warns:
This command DOES NOT change the coordinates in the CooRDinate file!
Use CooRDinate File Utilities menu, Update CRD from Drawing.
This warning applies if the points entities are not linked to the CRD
file. This link option is set
in the Configure command.
