[solved] Item rotation

Post by clocey » Sun Feb 21, 2021 2:19 am

I am trying to nest parts for my CNC and I would like to know if I can rotate "freehand" vs using the RO function and typing the exact degrees to rotate?

Make sure that the option bar is activated below ...

Menu / View / Toolbars and Widgets / Toolbars / Option

... and it will pop up automatically in the moment you launch the rotate tool.

Thanks. I am using 3.24 so the menu is a little different, but I was able to get it with your help
