Evolution Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I am doing a large trace over of an existing hospital I am currently working on. I have the plan @ the correct size to start. I have already done a trace over of part of the plan and was asked to go back and do the entire plan. It took a while to get the partial correct, and now I am trying to trace over the entire pdf file. In order to get the pdf to align with the angle of my already drawn plan, I need to be able to rotate the pdf "precisely" but can't seem to find anything in the help. I did try turning off the angle snaps in the edit dialogue, but when I grab the rotate handle I can't get it to rotate the pdf at small precise degrees until I match perfectly. Any suggestions aside from starting over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions aside from starting over? Have you tried holding down the Control (Ctrl) key while you are grabbing the rotate handle? Usually this will let you be more precise.

Evolution Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Rich, the first thing I did was hold down the Ctrl key! It still won't move in small degrees. I even changed the rotate angle degree to 1 but it doesn't matter. If I enlarge the window so I can move the rotate handle slower it won't move at all until I reach a certain point then it is too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 accurate move? or hold shift key for the same....? or try select> transform/replicate>copy>move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottharris Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Try using the Transform/Replicate Object tool. There's a rotate angle for a specific rotation amount 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Transform/replicate worked just fine, once I experimented a little with the rotate direction/angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
