Rotate a helix in S20

[radionut44]

In S20 I have used Marquee tool to select a helix with attached supports and signals. I can then use the Free move tool to move it, but I have not been able to rotate it to properly align it to other track. How do I rotate it? I tried switching to the Fine adjustment tool, but as soon as I click somewhere everything de-selects.

That is what is supposed to happen if you change your tool selection and then click something other than a movement tool (in the case of the Fine Adjustment Tool).

Steps:-

1. After selecting the objects with the Marquee Tool change to the Fine Adjustment Tool. You will see a set of Anchors in the form of a sphere (possibly more than one of them).
2. Left click and drag on the BLUE Rotational curved anchor line of one of the Anchor spheres to rotate the selected objects horizontally.

I just tried the above steps using a variety of different objects, including a circular track section, and all the selected objects rotated.
