I’m working my way through the tutorials and found that while one piece of my model is locked to the origin, the other symmetrical part is roughly .01cm on the y axis instead of 0 as it should be. I’m trying to adjust this, but with the pivot point locked at 0,0 I’m finding that I’m unable to rotate by anything but a known degree that I type in.

Additionally, if I adjust the view so I can see the offending gap, I can no longer manipulate the rotate controls.

Is there a way to rotate a whole selection of bodies until a point “snaps” to another point?

Hello, with the Align tool you can align bodies to reference sketches without knowing the angle of the rotation like in the video below:

The first indent is not clear for me, if you could upload a screenshot or a video with some description, that would be great

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed.
