How to rotate shape in sketch?

[PedjaS]

I have copy of shape in Sketch which I want to rotate 180 degrees.

Sketch does not have options for rotation. When i switch to Draft there are such options but all are greyed out.

Is there some other place where I should look for rotation?

You are probably using PartDesign workbench. Sketches have an AttachmentOffset, which describes the position relative to the body's Placement.

No, I am in Sketches. I do not want to rotate whole sketch but just one shape that is in the sketch.

I managed to use mirror option, however shape fell apart. Basicaly, I had to draw it from scratch.

The gurus will correct me if I'm uttering nonsense...

I don't think there is a way to select some geometry in sketcher and rotate. (there may be macros or python though)

There are a couple of "drafting" tools that occasionally I note the lack thereof.

Rotation of selected geometry (obviously before constraints are applied or after removing auto constraints like horizontal)

Simple copy & paste (clone, copy, move don't seem to work the way I expect...at least)

split a line into parts (on several occasions I've had a lot of geometry already laid out and then want to change a side to two lines so as to angle the resulting two (or more segments).

Not a problem, just noted while using sketcher...

If there ARE ways to do these things...I'm listening!

Perhaps a bit cumbersome:

1. Use Draft_Draft2Sketch to create Draft objects from the sketch.
2. Draft_Rotate the Draft objects.
3. Use Draft_Draft2Sketch to create a new sketch from the rotated objects.
4. Use Sketcher_MergeSketches to merge the original and the new sketch.
