Rotation

Function Description

Rotate Select Objects when the layer is editable.

Rotate Base and Center
The rotation base point is the corner point at the upper left corner of the Bounds of the Geometry range. The Center is located inside the Geometry (X-shaped, as shown in the following figure). When the Geometry is rotated, the rotation base point remains unchanged. Geometry rotates around Center by the specified angle.

When more than one object is selected at a time, the rotation base point is the location of the upper-left corner of the Bounds common to these objects.
SuperMap supports rotation of objects in point, line, surface, text, CAD, and routing layers.
When rotating, you can either rotate the object to the target position by dragging the rotation, or rotate the Geometry precisely by manually entering the Rotation angle.

Object Operation tab-> Object Editing group drop-down box-> Rotation.

Select one or more objects in an editable layer.
Place the mouse on the rotation handle. When the mouse becomes rotatable, press and hold the left mouse button, drag the object to the position you want to rotate, and then release the left mouse button.

Select one or more objects in an editable layer.
On the Object Operation tab, in the Gallery control in the Object Editing group, click the Rotation button to bring up the Rotation Settings dialog.
Center lists the (X, Y) coordinate values of the point. The default Center is the center point of Geometry's Bounds. You can set a new rotation base point by modifying the (X, Y) coordinates or the Coordinate Pickup Rotation center point button.
Type Rotation angle in the Rotation angle edit box. A positive value indicates that the object is rotating counterclockwise, and a negative value indicates that the object is rotating clockwise. After you type the angle, a preview of the rotated object (represented by a dashed line) appears in the Map in real time.
Click the OK button to rotate the selected Geometry.
