Rotate Angle Keep Name

Rotate Angle Keep Name

File: Part_Document_Scripts/Rotate_Angle_Keep_Name.py
Version: 1.2
Document Type: Part (also works with Part inside Product or Process)

---

Description

Rotates selected hybrid shapes by a user-defined angle around a selected axis, preserving the original names of all shapes. The result is created as a datum (isolated) so it has no parametric link to the source geometry.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Python	>= 3.10
pycatia	>= 0.8.3
wxPython	Required
Open document	Part, or Part inside Product/Process

---

Usage

1. Open a CATPart document with hybrid shapes and a line to use as the rotation axis
2. Run the script
3. Selection 1: Select the hybrid shapes to rotate — click OK when done
4. Selection 2: Select the rotation axis (a line or edge)
5. A dialog appears asking for the angle in degrees — enter a value and click OK
6. Rotated shapes are created as datums in the current in-work geometric set with the same names as the source shapes

---

Output

• Rotated shapes are added to the current in-work geometric set
• If the in-work object is not a geometric set, a new geometric set named Rotate_Angle_Keep_Name is created
• All results are datums (isolated) — no parametric link to source geometry

---

Notes

• Enter a positive angle to rotate in one direction, negative to rotate the other way
• The script supports Points, Curves, Lines, Circles, and Surfaces
• Source shapes are not deleted or modified
• For rotating all shapes in a geometric set at once use Rotate Angle Keep Name And Structure
• For rotation defined by three points instead of an angle use Rotate Three Points Keep Name
