Rotate About Line

This seems so simple but I cannot figure out how to do it. I want to rotate an entire part 30 degrees. The front view. I go to modify and move bodies but do not see the "Rotate About Line " option that some people have suggested in an Internet search. I can move it with my space mouse and save the movement as new front view.

   I have Inventor Pro 2018. Where is it hiding?

You can do this either with Direct Edit or with Move Bodies (Rotate).

Attach your *.ipt file here if you can't figure it out.

Hi! The major difference between Direct Edit -> Move/Rotate and Move Bodies is that DE only handles solid bodies, while MB can take surface bodies and composite surfaces also.

Many thanks!
