Translation and Rotation of 2D Elements

Call the command Transition and Rotation.

Call the command Copy.

For creation of translations with rotation or of analogous copying it is required to specify:

•initial point (this is an initial point of transformation and the first point of the initial direction vector);

•initial direction vector (the end point of a vector is specified);

•end point (this is a target point of transformation and the first point of the final direction vector);

•final direction vector (the end point of a vector is specified).

If the mode of automatic determination of the initial point on the basis of one of the characteristic point of the encompassing rectangle is enabled, the initial point is not specified.

When defining points' coordinates, a coordinate along one of the axes can be fixed by enabling a checkbox located to the left side of the coordinate value input box. Then moving the mouse in the 2D window will only affect a coordinate whose checkbox is disabled.

Transformation is carried out by translating the initial point to the end point (target) and rotating with respect to the end point at an angle between the initial and final direction vectors. In the parameters window you can specify the magnitude of angle of additional rotation (it is added to the angle specified by the vectors).

In addition, in the parameters window it is possible to change the scale of the image being translated. The Scale font size of detailing elements checkbox controls the font scaling of detailing elements that are included into the set of copied objects.

The sequence of actions and the result of the Copy with Translation and Rotation command.
