You can use arrow-shaped ( 
) Rotate grips to rotate cable tray and conduit fittings 180 or 90 degrees in the direction indicated by the grip.

In isometric views, you can also use diamond-shaped ( 
) Rotate grips to rotate conduit fittings around the centerline to any angle.
A conduit tee fitting in an isometric view
AutoCAD MEP 2023 toolset displays Rotate grips on cable tray and conduit fittings with connectors on opposite ends. However, when necessary to preserve the connectivity of runs, the software limits the available rotation options or hides the grips. For example, in the following illustration, you can rotate the unconnected conduit fitting on the left in several ways, but you cannot rotate the conduit fitting on the right due to the connected conduit segments.
A conduit fitting with Rotate grips and another without them
When you rotate a fitting that is connected to other objects, the software adjusts the connected objects to maintain their connectivity. For example, the software might make minor adjustments to the lengths of connected segments after you have flipped a fitting. If it cannot adjust the objects, it disconnects them.
To rotate a cable tray or conduit fitting
- Select the fitting.
- Rotate the fitting:
If you want to... then... rotate the fitting 180 degrees (flip the fitting) click the Rotate grip ( ). rotate the fitting 90 degrees while pressing Ctrl, click the Rotate grip ( ). rotate the fitting to an angle you specify click the Rotate grip ( ), and do one of the following: - enter the new absolute angle in the active dimension input field.
- drag the cursor to reduce or increase the angle, click Tab to activate the dimension input field for specifying the angle change, and enter the value.
- drag the grip to a new location.
- enter a value for Rotation on the Location tab of Fitting Properties
- enter the value in the command window.
