Rotate Holes
Rotate Drill and Blast Holes
Use the Rotate Holes option to quickly change the bearing of selected holes.
This option does not assign a new bearing value, it instead changes the viewing angle for the selected holes. If you want to alter a hole's actual bearing value, then we recommend that you use the Edit Holes option.

On the Drill and Blast menu, point to Edit, and then click Rotate Holes.
The Select hole(s) by dialog box is then displayed.

Once chosen, the following panel displays.

The rotation angle can either be entered in decimal degrees or degrees minutes seconds (ddd.mm.ss). To do so, select the appropriate angle format option and enter the angle value.
To enter a rotation angle of 15.5°, click and enter 15.5. Select a different angle format option to convert a value.
