Group Rotate in OrCAD PCB Designer

How do I rotate a GROUP of parts in OrCAD PCB Designer. Everything I try simply spins in place each part of a group. I need their orientation and spacing relative to each to remain the same, while the whole group rotates about a single point. (That is, I've already positioned my power decoupling caps and other components around an SOIC, and now I need to rotate the whole shebang 180 degrees to better fit the area on my board, with shorter rats as well.)

Thanks, Redwire. This works (of course).

As a clarification for others, you have to select the items and do Edit->Spin (or RMB->Spin) first. Then you select Options->Point->User Pick.

Possibly used to work, the RMB options mentioned are no longer available. But you can do it by adding each object to a group and then selecting generic->spin
