Rotate multiple about center 2

[deleo]

Greetings,

Is there a way to rotate multiple objects simultaneously about their own center?

Thanks!!

Not with a built-in command, but wwith LISP or VBA I'm sure it could be done.

Hello deleo,

To rotate multiple objects, use the 3D Orbit toolbar or type 3DORBIT at the Command prompt. Pick and hold the left button and move the pointer in the direction you want the model to rotate. Release the button when the pointer is moving at the appropriate speed. The model will continue to rotate until you pick the left mouse button, press [enter] or [esc], or right-click and pick Exit or another option. At any time while the model is orbiting, you can left-click and adjust the rotation angle and speed by repeating the process for starting a continuous orbit. Hope this helps - John

deleo,

which objects do You mean? Blocks? Lines?...

IFRs: I haven't tried using VBA with CAD yet, but I may start. Thanks.

CADSTUDENT: That doesn't seem like what I need, but I'll try it. Thanks.

I guess they are blocks. The objects are monitoring well icons (circles grouped with cross lines and some text) that all get posted to my map/drawing from a database 90 degrees off. I need to keep them all in the same place but rorate them all 90 degrees. This is a reoccuring issue.

Thanks everyone!

Multiple rotation of blocks about their insertion points is pretty easy. Correction: setting the rotation angle of multiple block insertions is easy. There is a big difference. I thought some one else had written this but I don't see it in this thread.

1) select all blocks to be rotated
3) double-click one of them
3) in the Properties window that pops up, change the rotation angle.

Done!!

Note:
1) The blocks rotate about their insertion points. I hope this is what you need.
2) What this does is to change the parameters of the block insertion. It does not really rotate the block.

Brilliant!!

That worked perfectly ... thanks so much!
