Rotating graphical shapes
Graphical objects can be rotated by menu command Object - Turn permanently
. A dialog box appears, where you can specify the how many degrees the objects should rotate and around which point.
There are two types of rotating:
1. type (lines, polylines and Bezier curves) - each point of the object is rotated by given angle.
2. type (other objects) - only the mid-point of the object is rotated by given angle.
Let us illustrate rotating in an example, drawing a three phase machine:
step 1Create the first branch of the machine. It is made up of two lines, three Bezier curves and a connection point. |
|
step 2Select all objects with the mouse pointer and save them to the clipboard byCtrl + C .
Then invoke menu command Object - Turn permanently . Enter 120° degrees in the dialog box and hit the OK button.
|
|
step 3Insert the original branch byCtrl + V . Select the branch with the mouse and turn the objects by -120°.
|
|
step 4Insert the original branch again. Symbol is done. |
