Draft Rotate/ru

Description
The Draft Rotate command rotates or copies selected objects around a center point by a given angle. In subelement mode the command rotates selected points and edges, or copies selected edges, of Draft Lines and Draft Wires.

The command can be used on 2D objects created with the Draft Workbench or Sketcher Workbench, but also on many 3D objects such as those created with the Part Workbench, PartDesign Workbench or Arch Workbench.

 * 1) Optionally select one or more objects, or one or more subelements of Draft Lines or Draft Wires.
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 3) * Press the button.
 * 4) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 5) * Use the keyboard shortcut: then.
 * 6) If you have not yet selected an object: select an object in the 3D view.
 * 7) The  task panel opens. See Options for more information.
 * 8) If subelements have been selected: check the  checkbox to switch on subelement mode.
 * 9) Pick the first point, the center of rotation, in the 3D view, or type coordinates and press the  button.
 * 10) Pick the second point in the 3D view, or enter a.
 * 11) Pick the third point in the 3D view, or enter a.

Options
The single character keyboard shortcuts and the modifier key mentioned here can be changed. See Draft Preferences.


 * To manually enter the coordinates for the center of rotation enter the X, Y and Z component, and press after each. Or you can press the  button when you have the desired values. It is advisable to move the pointer out of the 3D view before entering coordinates.
 * The checkbox, displayed in FreeCAD version 0.19 and earlier, has no purpose for this command.
 * Press or click the  checkbox to toggle global mode. If global mode is on, coordinates are relative to the global coordinate system, else they are relative to the working plane coordinate system.
 * Press or click the  checkbox to toggle continue mode. If continue mode is on, the command will restart after finishing. This mode really only makes sense if copy mode is switched on. Depending on the  preference, either the original objects are selected for the next command call or the copies that were created last. See Preferences.
 * Press or click the  checkbox to toggle copy mode. If copy mode is on, the command will create rotated copies instead of rotating the original objects.
 * Press or click the  checkbox to toggle subelement mode. If subelement mode is on, the command will use the selected subelements instead of the whole objects. The subelements must belong to Draft Lines or Draft Wires.
 * If copy mode and subelement mode are both on, and edges of Draft Wires are selected, new wires will be created from those edges.
 * Holding down after entering the  will also toggle copy mode. While  is held down multiple points can be picked for the . Release  to finish the command and see the created copies.
 * Press to switch Draft snapping on or off.
 * Press or the  button to abort the command.

 * To store and reuse the same copy mode setting across commands:.
 * To reselect the base objects after copying objects:.

To rotate objects use the method of the Draft module.


 * contains the objects to be rotated. It is either a single object or a list of objects.
 * is the angle of rotation in degrees.
 * is the center point of rotation.
 * is the direction of the axis of rotation.
 * If is  copies are created instead of rotating the original objects.
 * is returned with the original rotated objects, or with the new copies. It is either a single object or a list of objects, depending on.
