Rotate about a point - point to point

Rotate about a point - point to point

Hi Guys

I have installed NX6 and am really enjoying it.
I just have a question regarding the transform command.
It has been split into two separate commands, and I can't
seem to find the "rotate about a point - by two points"
command. I'm sure it's staring me in the face.
Is anyone able to help?

Darthdad,

Using Move, you can also change to a Dynamic movement where the CSYS appears and you can drag/rotate with the handles.  I believe you can also key in values if necessary (angle or distance).

Some people are like slinkies....they don't really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Hi John and Tim

Thanks for the responses. The 'Rotate by Three Points' was exactly what I was looking for thanks John.(insert embarrassed smiley here)
I'm still struggling with the whole dynamic move Tim, but I'm sure the more I use it, the more I'll wonder how I ever coped before.
