Making some dollhouse stair treads and currently I have them at an angle on designer. I'd like to rotate them so they run parallel to the grain and thereby allowing me to use a smaller width board.

Is there a way to manually rotate something? I assumed it would be pretty simple but I can't seem to find the command for it. Also when I go to "Flip and Rotate" command the Rotate 90 and other commands are grayed out.

To rotate it manually, drag the bar at the center of the pattern. The bar with the green dot.

Thanks. I forgot, how do you make something into a pattern?

Sounds like you are trying to rotate cut vectors. If you post your project perhaps we can make better recommendations.
