How to arrange parallel hand tools shapes

[Protective-foam_com]

Hi folks!

I managed to import the contours of the hand tools from the SVG file, but I have a problem with putting them in parallel with each other.

I will be grateful for the tips.

The key point to know is that imported SVG geometry comes in as "fixed", so first you have to "unfix" it.  Then, you can use Move to rotate it to the orientation you want.  However, you will have to do this "by eye", because there is no way to precisely rotate this using sketch constraints.

I would import on three separate sketches and then only use for reference (the geometry is rubbish).

That's what I did, but it takes a lot of time with more shapes.
Is there any possibility of adjusting the angle using the keys (not by mouse)?

No, today, there is no way to use the arrow keys with the rotate manipulator, unfortunately.  You can type in angles, which is probably what I would do, rather than trying to do this using the mouse.
