The following options are available on the Rotation Handle before a drag:

|
Enter Value |
This gives the Rotate Selection About form, enabling you to enter a value to rotate the graphical selection about the selected rotational axis |
|
Orient to Point |
This allows you to pick a p-line through a point with which to orient the Rotation Handle. |
|
Align with Direction |
This allows you to identify features with which the handle is to be aligned. Planes will be displayed to indicate a p-point direction (pointer symbol) or a p-line direction (symbol).Clicking and releasing the SHIFT key will reverse the direction of the handle. |
|
Align With |
This displays the Enter Direction For <direction> Axis form which allows you to align the handle with a specified direction, or as close as possible to the given direction, about the axis of the cable tray. |
|
Rotate Handle |
Allows you to rotate the Locator Handle, using the same movement options as the main Rotation Handle menu. These options move the Locator Handle only; they do not move the Graphical Selection. Alternatively a 'freehand' movement of the Rotate Handle can be accomplished by clicking the H key with the handle selected and the left mouse button held down. The Locator Handle may be rotated independently of the Graphical Selection in order to change the frame of reference for the next operation on the Graphical Selection. |
|
Rotate Handle > To World |
This option aligns the Locator Handle with the World co-ordinate system, without rotating the Graphical Selection. The Locator Handle Y axis points North and the Z axis points Up. |
|
Cancel |
This removes the shortcut menu and deselects the selected Locator Handle |
