Note:
  • You can also rotate the cross section with the cursor keys:
    • The Right arrow rotates the feature to the right in increments of 1 degree.
    • The Left arrow rotates the feature to the left in increments of 1 degree.
  • If the cursor is over the guide line, rotating to right and left depends on the direction of the line.
    • The line has a direction: The positive direction of the line is from the first point to the second point.
  • For this reason, a right or left rotation seems to occasionally occur in the wrong direction.
