| Rotate | Lets you rotate the selected nodes through an arc. |
| Copy and Rotate | Lets you create a single copy of the selected set of nodes and rotate them through an arc. |
| Nodes to Rotate | |
| Select Node | Lets you select the nodes to rotate. |
| Node Labels | Lets you add nodes to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of node labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the node labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of node labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add node labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add node labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add node labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Node Selection . |
