The following give you more control As the shape needs to rotated, you first need to find out many degrees to rotate it. Click the 'Information' icon and then click on the straight line along the bottom. In the information box that appears you can read the angle of that line which is likely to be about 355.55 degrees Subtract this from 360 degrees and that's your rotation angle. Rotation will be anticlockwise for positive numbers. Next, turn off all layers except the dimension layer so you don't rotate something else in error. Click the Group icon an draw the rectangle around the shape. Click the 'Rotate' icon and observe in the toolbar the 'Angle' is 90 Type in your calculated angle and hit enter. Then, apply the rotation to the group and it will rotate it to where you need it. Now it may not be exactly horizontal due to rounding errors in the angle. Verify this by observing the information of that wire as you did at the start.
