Rotates the selected sketch geometry relative to a specified center point, or rotates a copy of the selected geometry. Constraints between the selected geometry and unselected geometry affect rotate results.

Rotate
- Select
- Specifies the geometry to rotate. Turned on by default when you activate the Rotate command.
- Center Point Select
- Sets the center point about which the geometry rotates.
- Center Point Precise Input
- Turns on or off the Precise Input toolbar, where you enter exact coordinates for the center point. Also available from View

.
- Angle
- Specifies the specified rotation angle. Updates dynamically as you move the pointer. The value that you specify for the rotation angle remains fixed until you change it, or click in the graphics window.
- Copy
- Copies the selected geometry, and places it at the specified angle. Leaves the selected geometry in place.
- Optimize for Single Selection
- When selected, after a single or window selection of geometry, advances to Center Point Select. For multiple selections, clear the check box.
- Apply
- Click to commit to the Angle value. The dialog box remains open, and you can make additional changes.
(More) - Expands the dialog box, where you set overrides for dimensional and geometric constraints while editing a 2D sketch. The overrides remain in effect until you end the current session, or change the settings.
- Relax Dimensional Constraints
-
- Never Dimensions do not relax. The rotate operation obeys all dimensions associated with the selected geometry. If it is not possible, the operation fails and displays a dialog box.
- If No Equation Dimensions that are a function of any other dimension do not relax.
- Always Recomputes all linear and angular dimensions associated with the selected geometry after the rotate operation completes.
- All dimensions outside of the selection set relax.
- You can ignore all dimensions outside of the center point.
- Ignores all dimensions inside of the selection set.
- Prompt (Default) If the rotate operation does not complete, a dialog box explains the problem and offers solutions.
- Break Geometric Constraints
-
- Never Does not modify geometric constraints. The rotate operation obeys all existing geometric constraints. If the operation fails, a dialog box displays.
- Always Deletes only fixed constraints associated with the selected geometry. Deletes all constraints between the selected and unselected geometry, except Equal.
- Prompt (Default) If the rotate operation does not complete, a message appears explaining the problem.
