How to rotate multiple objects in non-sequential mode

Dear all,



Is there a simple way to rotate multiple (or combined) objects by any desired angle around common centre of rotation?

I.e. if one object is inside of another one, and both of them need to be rotated around the same centre of rotation...



Grateful for any tip.



Best,

DS

Yes. Define a dummy object and place it at the pivot point you want. This dummy object should be defined in the editor prior to any of the objects you want to rotate.



Then, in the toolbar of the NSC Editor, choose Modify Reference Object, and adjust the reference object of every object you want to move to be the newly created reference object (or a pre-existing one if it's at the right location). The objects will not change their absolute position, they will just be positioned relative to this object.



Then simply tilt the reference object and all the objects positioned relative to it will rotate about that point.
