To rotate an object to an absolute angle

  1. Click Modify menu Rotate.
  2. Select the objects to rotate.
  3. Specify the base point for the rotation.
  4. Enter r (Reference).
  5. Enter a reference angle value or specify two point locations.

    This determines an imaginary line that will be rotated to a new angle.

  6. Enter the new angle, or specify a point.

    The value that you enter for the new angle is an absolute angle, not a relative value. Alternatively, if you specify a point, the reference angle will be rotated to that point.
