Rotating template objects

2026

Tekla Structures

You can rotate objects such as texts, symbols and value fields in graphical templates. Note that grouped objects cannot be rotated.

Rotate objects, for example, when they need to appear rotated in the final output template.

Do the following:

Select the object so you can see the resize handles.
Hold down the Ctrl key and start dragging on a handle.
The handle where you start dragging is the anchor point of the object as you rotate it.
Move the mouse to rotate the object.
Release when the object is in its final position.

If you need to specify a specific value, you can also open the properties dialog box and specify the slant of the object in the Slant or Angle field.
