I'm stumped. How do I revolve a line about an axis?

Hi I'm using AC2004. I have a curved line that I want to pick up one end of and place somewhere else. I want the other end of the line to stay where it is. 'Revolve' doesnt allow me pinpoint exactly where I want the destination of the moved end to go.

Thanks

2004 was a while ago, so I'm going off memory here, but can't you just select the arc, then grab one of the grips and move it where you need it? The other end will stay.

Of course, this will make the arc radius different. Is that what you want?

Actually, I think I misunderstood your post. You could just find out the angle and rotate the line. Use the endpoint that is to remain in place as your base point.

Oh! Glad I could help. I thought I was way off base.
