Rotating objects

Post by annell »

Could anyone tell me if there's an option to rotate objects to a specific degree? I know there's the 90 degree rotation button. But I want to rotate to 45. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Select your object, then in the Properties window there is a box for you to enter the angle of rotation. HTH

Sorry, I didn't even look at the post location, just saw that you were using SCAL1. :oops: You can either double click on your object to get the rotation arrow, then hold down the control key while rotating through three snaps, or you can go through the menu and use Object/Transform to get the Transform dialog where you can click on the Rotate tab and enter the degrees.
