syntaxSyntax:
DlxObject.Rotate(angle)
DlxObject.Rotate(angle, basePoint)

Parameters

Parameter Description
angle The angle in degrees to rotate the object.
basePoint A DlxPoint coordinates specifying the base point.

Return Value

If the operation ends correctly it returns true otherwise it returns false.

Remarks

The object rotates around the base point. If the base point is not specified, the transformation is performed with respect to the object hotspot.
