Copy Tools: by Rotation

Description

Copies selected entities by an angle increment around an axis.

For multiple repeats, the position of each copy is progressively incremented from the position of the source entity.

Dialog

Coordinate System

The coordinate system (UCS) in which the axis of rotation is defined.

Only Cartesian systems are applicable. To copy around the axis of a cylindrical UCS, use Copy Tools: by Increment.

Axis

The axis of rotation; one of the X, Y or Z axes of the selected coordinate system.

Origin X / Y / Z

The coordinates of the origin of the axis of rotation in the selected coordinate system.

Angle

The angle increment, in degrees, around the axis of rotation.

Set origin by point

Sets the origin coordinates to those of a selected point.

Set angle by points

Sets the angle increment as the difference in angle between two selected points about the rotation axis.
