11.5 Rotate a graphic object
To rotate a graphic object, specify a rotation angle or use the circular arrow symbol in the
marking image editor.
The rotation center is the reference point of the graphic.
For VEC files, the reference point is the center of the image editor in the Logo Data Editing
software.
DXF, HPGL, JPEG or BMP files: If “Center” is set for “Origin” (reference point position),
the values under “X-position [mm]” and “Y-position [mm]” remain the same while rotating a
graphic. When another option is set for “Origin”, the values under “X-position [mm]” and “Y-
position [mm]” change while rotating the graphic.
1. To edit the parameters of the graphic object, select the object in the object list or in the
marking image editor.
The parameters are displayed in the category below the object list.
2. Enter a value for “Rotation angle [°]” to rotate the graphic object by a specific angle.
Enter a positive value for counterclockwise rotation and a negative value for clockwise
rotation.
Alternatively, rotate a graphic with the circular arrow symbol . Select the graphic
object in the marking image editor. Position the pointer over the symbol. Click and drag
in a circular motion.
