I placed a guide point into the centre of the top face of the component. You can use that to rotate your component with the Rotate tool

or you can use the Move tool as well - just hover over somewhere where my cursor is in this image. It will turn into a rotate tool and you can rotate the object around its centre again.

Thanks for the help.

Like this?

Exactly. Now is there a way to make it pivot on the crossing point so that if I move one end, the other end moves in the opposite direction? I want to use it to demonstrate the workings of a design.

I want to draw and model two pieces of square tubing steel that has a pivot point and a scisors action. How do I do that?
