OrientThe "Orient" submenu is found on the Format main menu. It menu commands for common relative orientation actions that may be applied to groups of selected graphics. More than one graphic must be selected for these menu selections to apply, the selections are disabled unless multiple graphics are selected. For most of these actions, one graphic is used as the master to define the alignment of the others. The master graphic is the "first selected" and not related to the painting order, or top most graphic. This master graphic is visually identified by a small reference marker shown at the center of the graphic. See the example below.
![]() For graphics such as a line, the defining axis or angle is obvious. Others may be less obvious. Experimentation is the best approach in these cases, as undo always works. If the result is not right, simply undo and attempt another orientation or master graphic. In some cases a construction line may be added to the drawing, oriented in the desired direction. This line will then have a clear orientation axes, use it as the master - first selected graphic. Then delete the construction line after it is used. |
