Rotate mode changes the orientation of the background image, which is necessary when angle to true North prevents proper alignment of the geolocated drawing. The mode uses a 3-click operation, similar to the Rotate tool.

The Rotate mode will change the Angle to True North value in the Document Georeferencing dialog box.

To rotate the geolocated image:

Click the tool and mode.

Click once to set the origin, then click a second time to establish the reference line.

Move the cursor to rotate the background drawing.

When properly aligned, click a third time to set the position of the background image.

To undo the rotation, set the Angle to True North parameter in the Document Georeferencing dialog box to 0 (zero).
