Hi !

when rotating objects, especially from different layers, I often face the question : do I need global rotation of the selection or rotation of each of the elements ? (an option that exists for example in Adobe Illustrator)

Eg if I import a dwg file into Capture and wish a side-view of it, I always have to turn the plan in x,y,z axes and move it in order to have it properly aligned on Alpha, Beta and Gamma view. When doing this if I type "90°" in the "Y rotation field" eg, the result is sometimes very odd. So I usually select the plan and then manually turn it until I get to 90°... or 90,2 or 89,9...

Is there a better way to do that ?

All the best,

Pierre

Have you tried to hold Shift to snap the rotation to steps of 5 degrees (configurable in the Options)?
