Batch Rotate Pages

Opens the Batch Rotate window. The Batch Rotate Pages tool rotates both the page and the takeoff items. You can start the rotation at the first page, the current page, or the selected page (or pages). To select multiple pages, hold the Ctrl key down to select the pages (from the Pages, s window) that are to be rotated before clicking on the Batch Rotate Pages button. Select Rotate Left, Rotate Right, or Rotate 180, then click on Start to begin the rotations. A status bar shows the progress. The Undo button does not undo any batch rotations.
