Help me rotate this stubborn base cabinet

[Newbie_Mary]

Hi guys,
I made a separate post for this issue I have in rotating objects.  
In context, this was the previous post: 

ANd now, I made video the issue https://www.loom.com/share/84cef748d1ba4a1da2b0eead1b9e8a5a?sid=39fdaf8a-e286-4a46-b6a9-284e871014e0

Your advices/suggestions  will of big help. thanks

Can you upload the plan

See if this helps:  to rotate freely - without bumping & snapping - hold down your control key (mac = cmd key) and then click and drag for free rotation.

I can't understand the audio.

Describe what you want to accomplish and include some reference to work with; angles, points, arc ... 

 

Assuming the cabinets are to meet at a rear corner and not overlap, then you need the arc for the back NOT the front. Also assuming that all cabinets are to be the same depth? 

Angle snaps off, nothing else. The idea is to break your arc into a series of chords whose length equals the width of the cabinets you want to place. As you go you will make the cabinet parallel to the chord, then move the corner of the cabinet to the start of the chord

 

Set the first cabinet - start with a point of reference- where one corner of one cabinet starts on the arc. I started on the left. 

Using that point as center draw a circle about center, radius equals the width of the first cabinet, say 27"

draw a line snapping to that center and then to the intersection of the circle and the arc

select the cabinet and make parallel to that line, then point to point move the left rear corner of that cabinet to the start of the line

NEXT

starting at the right corner of the first cabinet-Draw a circle about center; radius equals width of the next cabinet,

draw line, select cabinet, make parallel, point to point move.

Try turning Angle Snaps off, may get what you want. IF not start a specific thread and tell us what you want to accomplish.

Appreciate you prompt reply, Mark! I will try this technique of creating chords.
I was able to rotatecabinets and made it into a block. But once this block is inserted to the current plan, that highlighted cab just turnes back to its original position, it breaks waway from the curved and alignment it was created.

Rotating the object- we found a solution to that, and I use your technique too.
But issue now is why this cab doesn't follow the curvature?

I will try your technique as I wait for your response. Thanks Mark!
