About Rotating Objects
GstarCAD 2027 · Command Reference
Rotate Objects
Objects in your drawing can be rotated around a specified base point. You can enter an angle value, drag using the cursor or specify a reference angle to align to an absolute angle, to set the rotation angle.
Rotate an Object by Dragging
You can drag the object around the base point and identify a second point. For greater accuracy you can use Ortho mode, polar tracking or object snaps.
Rotate an Object to an Absolute Angle
If you want to rotate an object to align it to an absolute angle, you can use the Reference option.
Rotate an Object in 3D
You can use ROTATE or ROTATE3D to rotate 3D objects.
- ROTATE: Rotates objects around a specified base point. The axis of rotation passes through the base point and is parallel to the Z axis of the current UCS.
- ROTATE3D: Specify the axis of rotation using either two points; an object; the X, Y, or Z axis; or the Z direction of the current view.
