CADEntity rotation
Hello,
I need to rotate a CADEntity around to an axle z that I specify, but changing the property 'angle' the object is rotated around the origin! How do I do to modify the axle of rotation?
Thanks,
Lulu

Re: CADEntity rotation
Hello.
A direction of axis Z of the coordinate system of entity object sets by this object's Extrusion property. The rotation angle in extruded plane can be specified by Rotation property. However not all entities have Rotation property. For example you can rotate extruded text object.
The meaning of Angle property differs for the classes. You also can use Angle as a rotation angle in extruded plane for some classes. For example CADArc.StartAngle and CADArc.EndAngle will specify arc's rotation in extruded plane, when CADEllipse.Angle - won't. Please see help system.
