Simple question - how to rotate flat group ?

[Jorgensen]

Hi

How do I rotate an importet section (dwg) or any other flat object, from laying on ground to stading up ?

I usely draw a 3d-box beside the object, and then use this to rotate via red og green axe. But is there a more simple solution ?

Thanks

this is how i would do it:

make the flat section into a component (select all, context click, make component)
select the move tool, and while hovering over the edge adjacent to the desired direction of rotation, you will see that four red crosses appear.
placing the move tool over these will give the ability to rotate about that point.

hope this is helpful?

Also in addition to pavs answer, you can use the rotate function, but if you keep your left mouse pressed down once you choose a point of rotation and move the mouse, you can lock onto one of the other axis.

yeah thats probably easier as it goes, always nice to have a component or two in the library though. he he
