Sketch rotation

[salex]

Using Atom 3D V21. In the attached design can someone tell me how to rotate the sketch an arbitrary angle around the point [0,0]?

Hello salex,
one possible way:
- open your sketch to edit and apply dimensions


- add perpendicular contraints


- pick one corner point with left mouse button and drag the sketch a little away from the origin


- add a coincidence constraint between the lower left corner point and the origin
- then you can pick another corner to turn ther sketch round the origin. You can also add a dimension between a sketch line and an axis to set the angle.


Regards
Stefan

I was able to make this work but if any step isn't precisely correct it doesn't work! It's tricky but at least now I can do it! Thank you Stefan.

I could not make this work! The sketch refused to rotate, or even move at all!! What am I doing wrong?
……….Ah! I've cracked it. I had to delete the horizontal and vertical restraints that were automatically applied when I drew the sketch!
