Rotating the circle -3 degrees around a point
- Use the Move window, which is located in Utilities
Move.
- Within the Move menu and from among the Transformation possibilities,
select Rotation. The type of entity to receive the rotation is a surface.
Therefore, from the menu Entities Type, choose Surfaces.
- Enter -3 in the Angle box and click a checkmark into the box preceding
Two dimensions. (Provided we define positive rotation in the
mathematical sense, which is counterclockwise, -3 degrees will mean a clockwise
rotation of 3 degrees.)
- Enter the point (0, 0, 0) under First Point. This is the point that
defines the center of rotation.
- Click Select to select the surface that is to rotate, which in this
case is that of the circle.
- Press ESC (or Finish in the Move window) to indicate
that the selection of surfaces to rotate has been made, thus executing the
rotation.
