Subject: [TowerTalk] NEC rotate wire

Hello,

When modeling an inverted L (tag 1 is the vertical part, tag 2 is the
horizontal), is there a quick way or trick to rotate the horizontal wire
(tag 2) and keep it connected to the vertical wire (tag 1)?

When I try to rotate it using the move/copy (GM) it gets away from the
vertical wire.


Make sure your vertical part (tag 1) is at x,y =0,0. Rotations are around 0, so you could rotate both tags 1 and 2, or just tag 2.

In fact, if you rotated the entire structure, it would move your feedpoint, but the structure remains connected.

If you need to have the "origin" somewhere else, then build the structure at 0,0, then rotate it with a GM card, then translate it with another GM card
