Description

This tool rotates the selected objects. If no object is selected, you will be invited to select one. Then, the user is asked for the rotation center, the start angle and the rotation angle.

Usage

Picking a point on an empty area of the 3d view, or on an existing object.
Pressing CTRL will snap your point to availible snap locations.
Pressing SHIFT will constrain you vertically or horizontally in relation to the rotation center.
Pressing ESC will cancel the operation.
Enter numbers to manually insert a coordinate.
C switches the copy mode on/off. With Copy on, new objects will be created instead of rotating existing objects.
Pressing ALT will make a copy, even if the Copy check button is off.
