 Can I somehow change the default settings from Active Angle to 3 points??

&lt;p&gt;the settigns recommended wont stay if you use any other option of rotate as msnt remembers what was used last time.. so even seed&amp;nbsp; wont hold if you use another option ever&amp;nbsp;in your&amp;nbsp; file down the line. so my F key solution or fancy mouse button it always holds.. you gotta&amp;nbsp;weigh up how often you use the rotate 3 points&amp;nbsp; to devote a button or a F key&amp;nbsp; for&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;a solution...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to set Rotate by point to default</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/686993?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 Dec 2021 10:50:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3086c9d0-c2d9-4531-b55f-73822c23cdd9</guid><dc:creator>Anna Olivia Kristiansen</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you for all the answers!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to set Rotate by point to default</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/686759?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Dec 2021 14:35:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:7bbd7062-b377-41a0-be0c-ed371c4a8092</guid><dc:creator>Jon Summers</dc:creator><description>[quote userid="1144012" url="~/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/218403/how-to-set-rotate-by-point-to-default/686743"]By using &amp;quot;save settings&amp;quot; this is saved into the DGN file, right?

&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s a design file setting, not a user preference setting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t know OpenCities Map Advanced, but if the option is available to you, you could do as I have done and create your own tool to always default to by points. This can be done for Rotate Copy and Rotate Original:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If after&amp;nbsp;setting the method to 3 points you &amp;quot;save settings&amp;quot;, this value it will be remembered for the next time you open the file and start the tool.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you do the same in your seed file you can establish the default settings for new projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;please be aware this is Bentley Institute forum, not product forum. Because your question is about OpenCities Map, I recommend to move it this &lt;a href="/products/geospatial/desktop/f/bentley-map-forum" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;OpenCities Map forum&lt;/a&gt;. But, because your question is not about OCM specific tool, but about standard Rotate Element tool, maybe to move the question to normal &lt;a href="/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;MicroStation forum&lt;/a&gt; makes sense too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also recommend, even when it&amp;#39;s not crucial in the discussed case, to specify also exact version of used OCM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To move existing discussion to another forum, use &lt;em&gt;More &amp;gt; Move&lt;/em&gt; tool, available under your original post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Jan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
