+- **Angular Step** check-box turns on/off definition of the angle by which the object is rotated. By default (if the checkbox is not checked), **Angular Step** = 2 * PI / NbTimes;
+- **Nb. Copies** defines the number of rotated shape copies in the resulting compound. If **Nb. Copies** = 1, the result contains only the initial shape.
