Rotating the circle -3 degrees around a point

1. Use the Move window, which is located in Utilities Move.

2. Within the Move menu and from among the Transformation possibilities, select Rotation. The type of entity to receive the rotation is a surface. Therefore, from the menu Entities Type, choose Surfaces.

3. Enter -3 in the Angle box and click a checkmark into the box preceding Two dimensions. (Provided we define positive rotation in the mathematical sense, which is counterclockwise, -3 degrees will mean a clockwise rotation of 3 degrees.)

4. Enter the point (0, 0, 0) under First Point. This is the point that defines the center of rotation.

5. Click Select to select the surface that is to rotate, which in this case is that of the circle.

6. Press ESC (or Finish in the Move window) to indicate that the selection of surfaces to rotate has been made, thus executing the rotation.
