PPM All Outputs Graphic Rotates one or more items a precise distance or angle about a specified point.

To rotate an item, select the item and then select Rotate. To define the rotation axis, you must specify two points by clicking in the drawing.

First Click

Defines the rotation point.

Second Click

Defines the rotation handle.

The software then dynamically displays a reference axis for the rotation. If you want to define a precise location for the rotation, you can enter values in the Rotate ribbon. You can enter increments in the Step Angle box if you want to control the increments of the rotation. For example, if the box is set to 30.0, the rotation is displayed in 30 degree increments. The default setting is 0 degrees so that the rotation is fully dynamic, that is, it can take on any value. The Rotation Angle box on the ribbon displays the angle of change between the old and new position. Angles are always displayed as a positive value.

Third Click

Completes the rotation of the item.

Also, you can rotate an item about its center with the rotate component handle PPM All Outputs Graphic. Keeping the rotate component handle close to the center of an item causes the item to rotate at 90 degree increments. Dragging the rotate component handle further away from the center of the item causes the item to rotate at smaller angles. The angle increments become smaller the farther away your pointer is from the center of rotation.
