Can I rotate the components and the board at once? I try hold click + Space bar but it just rotates the component only. Say I already have a 20mm x 10mm board size and I want to make it 10mm x 20mm. I tried Design >> Board Shape. But I don't know what to do next.
Answer
View » Board Planning Mode, commands that support interactively changing the shape are available in this mode:
- Redefine Board Shape - select this command to interactively draw a new shape.
- Move Board Vertices - select this command to interactively modify the shape of the board by moving vertices or sliding the edges of the shape.
- Move Board Shape - select this command to move the complete board shape to a new location in the workspace. Note that this command only moves the board shape, other objects that have been placed in the workspace are not moved. To move the board shape as well as all placed objects, select everything to be moved and use the Edit » Move » Move Selection command (switch to 2D Layout Mode first). Taken from Altium Tech Doc.
The Move Board Shape option will allow you to rotate the whole board(without the components) when the Space Bar is pressed. So I would like to correct my comment, this option does exactly what you need.
Nevertheless, the Move Board Vertices is pretty useful too.
