Simply select an object like a Block or a Polyline or Window select a group of objects and click on a 'Grip Handle' as shown, The object will then Stretch in a given direction and users can use snaps, drawing aids and direct draw options to relocate the object as precisely as the usual mainstream AutoCAD commands. The regular Rotate tool is a bit limited in options

The multiple rotate and copy option is a part of the Grip editing suite and means you can do many popular edits without having to use the rotate command on the ribbon menu at all! This function has in fact been in AutoCAD for a great many years and was introduced back in the days of MS DOS, pen plotters, floppy disks and 'Release 12' if you can remember such things! Although one could perform a Polar Array users may sometimes require a more bespoke function where elements are copied and rotated to a more irregular arrangement. Unfortunately rotate and copy is limited to a single operation. They also improved the Rotate command to include a Rotate and Copy option. Back with AutoCAD 2006 the development team greatly enhanced many editing tools in AutoCAD, like the trimming of hatch objects, multiple object copy to name but a few.
