Rotate Points To Tool

What it Does

Turns points around a pivot point until one chosen point lines up with a target point. Use this when you know where a point should end up, but not how many degrees it takes to get there. For example, closing a gap by swinging a point toward another one.

The tool works out the angle for you. The other points you choose turn by the same angle, so the group keeps its shape.

info

The point you turn ends up on the straight line from the pivot point through the target. It lands exactly on the target only if it is the same distance from the pivot as the target is.

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by clicking the Rotate Points To icon
2. Select the point to rotate, then select the target point where it should end up, then select Continue. The point to rotate turns blue and the target turns green
3. If you want other points to turn with the blue point, select them, then select Continue. You can select Continue without choosing any
4. Select the pivot point, the point everything turns around, then select Continue
5. The points turn right away. Select Save to keep the change, or Cancel to discard it

There is no Preview button in this tool. The points move when you select the pivot point and Continue, and Cancel puts them back.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the rotation is remembered.
