Rotate an Object in 3D


With ROTATE, you can rotate objects in 2D about a specified point. The direction of rotation is determined by the current UCS. ROTATE3D rotates objects in 3D about a specified axis. You can specify the axis of rotation using two points; an object; the X, Y, or Z axis; or the Z direction of the current view. To rotate 3D objects, you can use either ROTATE or ROTATE3D.
Align Objects
You can move, rotate, or tilt an object so that it aligns with another object.
You can move, rotate, or tilt an object so it aligns with another object. In the following example, align the pieces of piping using a window selection box to select the object to be aligned. Use the Endpoint object snap to align the pieces precisely.
Copy, Offset, or Mirror Objects
You can create duplicates of objects in your drawing that are either identical or similar to selected objects.
Copy Objects
You can create exact duplicates of objects at a specified distance from the original.
You can create duplicates of objects at a specified distance from the original. You specify the distance and direction by two points, a from point (1) and a to point (2), called the base point and the second point of displacement, respectively. These points can be located anywhere within the drawing.
