1. Select vectors to be rotated..
2. Select Reference Vector 1. (May be one of the vectors selected in 1.)
3. Select Reference Vector 2. (May be one of the vectors selected in 1.)
4. Select Rotation Options:
. a. Rotate about selected point
. b. Rotate and move so Ref. Vector 1 and 2 start nodes are concurrent after rotation.
5. Place a copy of original vectors on a new layer. Rotate and move original as required.
There have been several forum threads asking how to accomplish this, so I thought I would add it to the Gadgets - Requests.
Rotate selected vectors so selected vector angles match.

Re: Rotate selected vectors so selected vector angles match.
Hello Mike,
I came across this while looking for something else. I'm not sure I can visualize this (I even tried to run through it in a test file). It' sounds like a useful method.
Any further clarity can you add?
Thanks,
Steven

Hi Steven
I don't have anything to add that I can think of. You're asking me to remember what I wanted 6 years ago. I have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast!
P.S. How about PMing me.
