    I have holes on various pcd's. I want to rotate all the holes by 30degrees.

    Is there an easy way of doing this?

    Can I pick the holes and rotate them about a point?

    pcds? What is that?

    Are you rotating the holes individually or the pattern of holes? What
    is the shape of the holes?

    PCD mean pitch centre diameter.

    I am rotating a pattern of holes.

    There are 6 holes in total. The holes are on a circular plate. Three holes
    are around the centre point.

    If you tell me how to rotate these 3 holes I can do it with the others.

    Try............ Insert-Face-Move from the pulldowns. If I understand
    your request correctly this should do what you want.

  5. Maybe a silly question, but if the plate is round and in an assy, can you
    just rotate the plate?

    If not, how about opening the sketch and using the rotate command? If you
    want some one way and some another way, tie them with an angle dim and then
    change that per config.

    It works! Cheers!

  7. Isn't that kind of a Band-aid if you have access to the sketch? It inserts
    a feature, rather than just modifying the driving entities. But, of course,
    I assumed the sketches were available - maybe not valid.....
