#### Rotate by an Offset

The Offset angle box allows you to rotate the alignment by a specified angle about a selected axis.

To rotate by an offset:

1. Select the axis to rotate about from the About list.

2. Type the desired angle in the Offset angle box.

3. Click the Rotate button.

The Rotate button will becomes active once you type a value in the Offset angle box or you selected an existing rotate offset sub-command (ALIGNMENT/ROTATE_OFFSET). If you selected an existing rotate offset sub-command, it will be modified to use the new Offset angle value; otherwise a new rotate offset sub-command will be created.

The Edit window command line for this option reads:
ALIGNMENT/ROTATE_OFFSET,'numeric_value'

Changeable field: "numeric_value"
This is the value the alignment will be rotated by in degrees of angle (for example; -14.36). The rotation will be about the axis, perpendicular to the active work plane. The rotation will be clockwise if the angle is negative and counter clockwise if the angle is positive.

Changeable field: "axis"
This is the axis about which the alignment will be rotated.
