    Help rotating a sketch to align with entity...can't believe it can't be done.

    OK, thanks for that. I pasted a complex and undefined dxf file into a sketch and was hoping to align it other entities......actually I think someone mentioned converting to a block......just tried it and that works OK. not as slick as DS tho, in that regard. Cheers

I can do Bows for 2D, and I'll wager it can be done using a 3D sketch.....but I just can't remember my 3D trig. I seem to remember...
