In this dialog box you can specify the elements which should be rotated and the rotation parameters:
Axis: point and vector
Angle of rotation
Toggle the corresponding checkbox to Select whole mesh, submesh or group.
When Move elements radio button is selected, the source mesh (or elements) is created at the new location and erased from its previous location.
When Copy elements radio button is selected, the source mesh (or elements) is created at the new location, but it also remains at its previous location and is considered one and single mesh with the result of the translation.
When Create as new mesh radio button is selected, the source mesh (or elements) remains at its previous location, and a new mesh is created at the new location and appears in the Object browser with the default name MeshName_rotated (you can change this name in the adjacent box).
Copy Groups checkbox allows copying the groups of elements of the source mesh to the newly created one.
