The Rotation option rotates the selected geometry about an axis.
- Copy
If enabled, a copy of the selected entities will be rotated.
- Number of copies
Specify the number of copies of the selected entities to be created.
- IncrementParts
To add the newly created copies of entities to a new part, click the IncrementParts icon. A window will open with the list of the parts of the selected entities. If a part is selected, the new entities will be placed in a new part named [old_part_name]_0. For multiple copies, each copy will be placed in a separate part, for example, GEOM_1, GEOM_2, GEOM_3, etc.
- Angle
If this is enabled, you can manually specify the angle of rotation. If disabled, the angle of rotation is automatically set based on the number of copies. For n copies, the angle of rotation is set to 360/(n + 1). For example, for 1 copy, the angle of rotation is 180 degrees, and for 2 copies, it is 120 degrees.
- Axis
The axis of rotation can be defined as one of the global axes, or by a vector through two specified points.
- Center of Rotation
The center of rotation may be chosen as the Origin, Centroid (of the geometry) or another specified point.
