Move and Rotate Objects An important drawing technique is to create one or more objects and then move or rotate them into place. Move Objects You move objects the same way that you copy them. You select the object to move, specify the base point (1), and then specify a second point to determine the distance and direction of the move (2). In the illustration, these steps move the window higher and away from the door. 1 2 Select objects, specify base point and new location of the selected objects. Rotate Objects You rotate objects by specifying a base point and a rotation angle. You can specify the rotation angle by specifying a point or entering a value for the angle. In the following example, you specify the base point (1) and a second point (2) that determines the angle of rotation (2) for the orientation of a house. 1 2 Objects selected Base point and angle of rotation Result Instead of specifying the second point in the example, you could have entered -35 to specify the rotation in degrees. NOTE By default, a positive angle results in a counter-clockwise rotation. However, this setting can be changed using the Units command. Move and Rotate Objects | 93
