Is there a key-in for Rotate 2-points? I'm assigning them to function keys, and I can get it to rotate by angle (rotate original) and rotate 3 points (Rotate points) but I can not figure out how to get Rotate 2-points, which is probably my most used Rotate command.
Is it possible? Thanks!
Tom, depending on if you are trying to rotate the view or an element there are a few ways to accomplish this.
For Rotate View by 2-points - the Key-in is "rotate view extended". This is the easiest version. It sets your snaps to nearest and gives you the dashed guide line with the endpoints shown. Just keep the 2 points option selected. You could also use " rotate view points". It works similar to the above but the snaps aren't auto enabled and you don't see the guide line.
For Rotate Element by 2-points - the Key-in is "rotate points". To use it in a Function Key use this code: rotate points;set item toolsettings rotatemethod=1 (sets the dialog to 2 points). If you want it set to Active Angle use =0, and for 3points use =2.
As mentioned before Spin works as well and just automatically sets the 2 points option where as rotate points auto sets 3 points.
Oto's answer showed this as well. It needed a bit more explaining as I didn't understand it at first.
These articles explain a bit more.
