Featured Dilemma:

Copy and Rotate

Dear  Ed,

Yes I do have a lisp file that I use for that but, unfortunately I didn't write it and can't give it out. If you are an Autodesk VIP member they have one in the Express menu but, it doesn't work exactly like you would think it should.  You can find one at Cadalog. Cadalog boasts that they have over 3,800 files to choose from. Its a great site and best of it all free. You can also try coping the entities in question from @ to @ and the moving Previous to the location you want them then rotate previous. Another option would be to use the COPYCLIP command from the edit menu and then PASTECLIP the entities back in. The keyboard imput for these commands work just like every other MS program cntrl-C to copy and cntrl-V to paste

Good luck!
Jim

Jim,

Do you have a copy & rotate routine available? We often do polar copies that are not located at equal angles.

Thank you
