I would like to select 2 or more patterns and rotate it on the board. However, it rotate each pattern individually.

Will there be a fix for this or is it the way it supposed to work?

Thanks

1) Highlight all patterns you wish to rotate.
2) Go to the "Input" tool bar (the ones with the DEPTH, HEIGHT, ANGLE, and SIZE(s)).
3) type in the ANGLE you wish.

If you use the Green dot on a pattern, only that pattern will rotate.

It still rotate each pattern individually. I need it to rotate from the center point of both patterns. Not from the center point of each individual pattern.

I think this is a missing feature of the software.
Thanks

Examples:
If I had 2 patterns selected as in picture 1. I want to rotate both of them 90 degree.

When I rotate it 90 degree. This is what it did. See picture 2. Which is not what I want.

OK, try this:
I had two patterns that were not proprietary (this will not work on purchased patterns that I know of).

1) Highlight the items on your Carve List.
2) Make a "Group".
3) Highlight all items (including the Group).
4) GO to TOOLS > MAKE PATTERN, and name your new pattern.
5) Clear Designer and begin a new design.
6) Bring in your new pattern and rotate as you wish.
See if this is what you are looking for.

Thanks Bud,

I know the make pattern thing but it would be great if it worked the other way around.
