ROTATE BLOCK IN CLOCKWISE DIRECTION

Hello Friends,

I need your support to rotate an antenna in plan view with respect to north direction ( North = 0 degree) in clockwise direction. When I am importing this block to a drawing, I feed azimuth of that antenna in the dynamic block label for rotating ( Say  33 degree, 255 degree etc.). The problem I am facing in attached block is, it rotates counterclockwise direction only when I input positive values ( I need them to move in clockwise direction with respect to north till 359 degree) .  Also, when I feed 270 degree it rotate 270 degree in counter clockwise & then changing value in label to  90 degree immediately after that is not doing any modification in the drawing.

Hi @Maria_QSD,
Use Command UNITS and click on "Clockwise".

Thanks, Dave for the quick response. Now I am able to move block in clockwise direction. However, Still I am facing issue when I edit rotation values in label. Like, when I enter value 90 it rotate 90degree clockwise. Now when I select label & edit value as 270, it stays as is and not moving to west direction!

I think, the issue could be due to AutoCAD do not recognize any angle more than 180degree in Dynamic block. It takes both clockwise and counterclockwise if it exceeds 180degree without any fixed rule. Appreciate experts view on this.
