SetRotation Method—ArcGIS Pro

Sets the rotation value for the element. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public void SetRotation( 
   double rotation
)

Public Sub SetRotation( _
   ByVal rotation As Double _
)

Parameters

rotation: Double

Exceptions

Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.CalledOnWrongThreadException	This method must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
System.InvalidOperationException	This element requires its mapview to be active

Remarks

Positive values rotate the element counter-clockwise, negative values rotate the element clockwise.
Placement for an element contained in graphics layer requires the mapview be active.

Example

//Modify and element's rotation value.

//Perform on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  double elmRot = element.GetRotation();
  elmRot = 22.5;

  element.SetRotation(elmRot); //You don't have to get to set; a shortcut would be: element.SetRotation(22.5);
});
