Rotate Reference

Used to rotate a reference.

You can access this tool from the following:

Ribbon: Drawing > Attach > Reference
Toolbox: Reference

Also used to rotate references using a fence and to rotate references selected from the References dialog list.

When working with a read-only file such as an i-model, you can use this tool and you can view its impact on the original drawing but the changes will not be saved.

Setting	Description
Method	Sets the method by which the reference is rotated. By Angles — Sets the rotation angle(s). In 2D, sets the rotation angle(s) on the z-axis only. In 3D, sets the rotation angle(s) on the x-, y-, and z axes. By Points — Sets the point about which the reference is rotated.
X	Angle to rotate the reference about the x axis for 3D files.
Y	Angle to rotate the reference about the y axis for 3D files.
Z	Angle to rotate the reference about the z axis for both 2D and 3D files.
Move Boundary with Reference	If on, any clipping boundary and/or clipping mask(s) is rotated with the reference. If off, only the reference is rotated, with any clipping boundary and/or clipping mask(s) remaining as is.
Use Reference Dialog List	If on, the model(s) selected in the References dialog is rotated. (Not available) All options regarding references are controlled through the Model tab of the Project Explorer dialog.
Use Fence	If on, the fence contents are rotated. The option menu sets the Fence (Selection) Mode.
