<b>Function</b>
<dd>
Rotates objects.
<p>
<dt>
<b>Syntax</b>
<dd>
<tt>ROTATE orientation *..</tt><br>
<tt>ROTATE orientation element_name..</tt>
<p>
<dt>
<b>Mouse</b>
<dd>
Right button rotates the group.<br>
Left-click&drag rotates the object by any angle.<br>
Right-click&drag rotates the group by any angle.
<p>
</dl>
<b>See also</b> <a href=26.htm>ADD</a>,
<a href=59.htm>MIRROR</a>,
<a href=61.htm>MOVE</a>,
<a href=49.htm>GROUP</a>
<p>
The ROTATE command is used to change the orientation of objects.
<p>
If <tt>orientation</tt> (see description in <a href=26.htm>ADD</a>) is given,
that value will be added to the orientation of the selected object instead.
<p>
Prepending <tt>orientation</tt> with the character <tt>'='</tt> causes the value
not to be added, but instead to be set absolutely.
For example
<p>
<pre>
ROTATE =MR90 IC1
</pre>
<p>
would set the orientation of element IC1 to MR90, regardless of its previous setting.
<p>
If <tt>element_name</tt> could be mistaken as an orientation parameter
you need to quote that name, as in
<p>
<pre>
ROTATE R45 'R1'
</pre>
<p>
You can use Click&Drag to rotate an object by any angle.
Just click on the object and move the mouse (with the mouse
button held down) away from the object. After having moved the mouse a
short distance, the object will start rotating. Move the mouse until the
desired angle has been reached and then release the mouse button. If, at
some point, you decide to rather not rotate the object, you can press the
ESCape key while still holding the mouse button pressed.
The same operation can be applied to a group by using the right mouse button.
The group will be rotated around the point where the right mouse button has
been pressed down.
<p>
<b>Elements</b>
<p>
When rotating an element, wires (tracks) connected to the element are
moved at the connection points (beware of short circuits!).
<p>
Elements can only be rotated if the appropriate tOrigins/bOrigins
layer is visible.
<p>
<b>Text</b>
<p>
Text is always displayed so that it can be read from the bottom
or from the right - even when rotated. Therefore after every
two rotations it appears the same way, but the origin has moved from
the lower left to the upper right corner. Remember this if a text
appears to be unselectable!
<p>
If you want to have text that is printed "upside down", you can set the "Spin"
flag for that text.
