Jake1976 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Does anyone know if there's a way to rotate an object about a point and align relative to another object, or to an absolute angle. I tried Transform/Replicate, but it seems that Transform/Replicate ignores the selected point. Perhaps there's another way? It's not a huge deal, but would be nice and seems like there should be a way to do this. If not, at least I've learned how Transform/Replicate will allow me to rotate to an absolute angle.

Pretty sure that should work for you but it is not technically the "selected point" but the "Current Point" which is not selected but the most recently placed point. Not sure if that was just a typo or if that was a misunderstanding but it is an important detail. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake1976 Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 Sorry, yes, that's what I meant, current point. I think I figured it out. Transform/Replicate. Select "current point" Enter the angle, or pitch. What I'm noticing is that it depends on which line you have selected in the polyline, which I can't figure out the logic behind, so it may require some trial and error until I get used to it.

Alaskan_Son Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 You might try placing a Temporary Point and toggling Edit>Edit Behaviors>Rotate/Resize about Current Point. Using this approach you can use the rotate handle or the Make Parallel/Perpendicular tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
