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.
Update viewports [Yes/<No>]? press Enter. This
option rotates all the viewports in all the layouts of the
drawing.
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.
