Rotating the circle around a point
- Use the Move window, which is located in Utilities->Move.
- Within the Move menu and from among the Transformation possibilities, select Rotation. The type of entity to receive the rotation is a surface, so from the Entities type menu, choose Surfaces.
- Enter -3 in the Angle box and check the Two dimensions option. (Provided we define positive 2D rotation in the mathematical sense, which is counter-clockwise, -3 degrees equates to a clockwise rotation of 3 degrees).
- Enter the point (0, 0, 0) under First Point. This is the point that defines the center of rotation.
- Click Select to select the surface that is to rotate, which in this case is that of the circle.
- Press ESC (or Finish in the Move window) to indicate that the selection of surfaces to rotate has been made, thus executing the rotation.
