Rotate Section
Rotate Section tool rotates a vertical section view stepwise around its center point.
The direction and angle of rotation can be determined by data clicks inside the section view or by a fixed value in the tool’s dialog.
To rotate a section view:
1. Select the Rotate Section tool.
This opens the Rotate Section dialog:
2. Move the mouse pointer into a section view.
The area covered by a vertical section is highlighted by a rectangle in all top views.
3. Place a data click inside a vertical section view.
If the data click is placed on the right side of the section view’s center, the section is rotated counterclockwise. If the data click is placed on the left side, the rotation direction is clockwise.
The angle of rotation is determined by the distance of a data click from the center of the section view or by a fixed value in the Angle field of the Rotate Section dialog.
