I use key r. Click the function key r to rotate during movement funckey r iangle 90 Another handy one is: funckey " " "pop bbdrill -cursor" To add via during add connect. Or Pass your cursor over a cline, segment, via, text or shape and click "d" to delete it. No click of the mouse! funckey d "prepopup; pop dyn_option_select @:@Delete" My most used.

Choose a key (I use function key F4) and either in the command line or in the env file enter Alias F4 rotate Where "F4" is actually the F4 key, not the consecutive letters F 4. This will put you in rotate mode and you can choose the rotation you want. I'm not sure how to get it to do the single rotation of 90 degrees as you mentioned.

One handy key I had was "rotate", mainly used to adjust silk screen text. Once you had hold of the text while in the move command, each hit of the "rotate" key would rotate the text 90 degrees clockwise. It was fast and easier on the mouse hand. I would like to achieve this without the extra keyboard but can't figure it out. Does anyone know of any switches for the "rotate" keyboard command? Any ideas? Thanks for any help with this, it really does make adjusting silk text much easier.
