Script to rotate 45 degrees

[Kevin]

I often rotate objects 45 degrees. What I need is a script that will rotate 45 degrees so that I can assign that to a keyboard shortcut.

Does anyone know how to write such a script? I am sure it is a simple one.

Hi Kevin,

You're right, it is simple. It's a 1 line script:

Rotate(45);

This will always rotate all selected objects CCW around their collective center. You can have another script to rotate CW:

Rotate(-45);

If you want to make menu commands instead of scripts, check the VW User's Guide or search this board for instructions on creating a menu command, or ".vsm" object.

You can also search the VectorScript List at: http://lists.nemetschek.net/archives/vectorscript-l.html

Thank you, it worked. I don't know how, but I duplicated the structure of a sample script shown in the Manual, and used your script.

One day perhaps I will figure out how all of this Vectorscript works. I really admire you guys who know how to do this.
