Rotate to Initial Baseline

You can use the Rotate to Initial Baseline tool when you want to rotate the piece back to its original position. The baseline becomes parallel to the X axis, and the piece rotates accordingly. This tool does NOT change the baseline itself – just the angle of the piece in the Working Area.
