Rotating a line

[jackamus]

This may have been answered in a previous rotational problem I had.

 

Using the node at the top a A how do I move it a specific angle to point B or even measure its angle? Using the rotation point is not very convenient.

Hi again, Jack …  :)

 

You can only change the center of rotation on the Transform Panel and use the slider or the numeric input … Unfortunately you can’t use the rotation handle on the object to do that …

It doesn't make any difference which of the 'nodes' I select on the transformation tab it doesn't make any difference and still rotates about the centre node.

Yes, I know, as long as you use the rotation handle on the object itself … the only way to do this seems to be using the slider on the Transform Panel (as in my screen cast) …  :unsure:

 

P.S. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused …

Err sorry what slider? :wub:

Oh, I meant this one, Jack …  :)

Thanks. Yes I have seen this slider before but the line still rotates about the default centre and not the end node.

Hi Jack, have you set the center of rotation as shown in my video?  ;)

 

To be more clear: (a.) Set the center of rotation as shown below, and (b.) use the slider shown above or the numeric input on the Transform Panel, and it should work … cheers …

Got it! Many thanks.
