Rotated Copies can be accessed by right clicking on Copy
ROTATED COPIES works like ROTATE, except that, instead of rotating the selected entities, it makes rotated copies of the entities, leaving the originals in place.
To rotate entities, select Copy > Rotated Copies:
1 Select entities to rotate using the Entity Selection dialog box.
2 The prompt reads "Rotate by Angle [n]:". ]:", with the last angle you used suggested as a default or prior value. (The default is 90° when you start a new work session.) You can:
· Right-click or press ENTER to accept the default or prior rotation.
· Type a positive or negative angle, which can include VALUES like 90.0005° or 22+1/2°. (Remember that positive angles turn counterclockwise.) For example, to turn the entities 45° clockwise, type "45" and press ENTER.
3 The prompt reads "Rotate center [x,y]:". This is the point which CC3 should turn the entities. To define the rotation center:
· Right-click or press ENTER to accept the default or prior center.
· Use the cursor to visually select a center point (may be combined with modifiers).
· Type numeric coordinates and press ENTER.
CC3 creates copies of the selected entities and rotates them around the center, which remains fixed.
