This can be used to rotate who gets dealt the first card.
Example: Dealing number cards 1-7 to 3 holders:
- When set to
0: 147 25 36 - When set to
1: 36 147 25 - When set to
2: 25 36 147 - When set to
3: 147 25 36 (same as0) - When set to
4: 36 147 25 (same as1) - Etc.
Use the button to connect this to a counter. Adding 1 to the counter after each deal will rotate who gets dealt the first card.
Flip Cards
Flip cards face-up or face-down when moving them.

Rotation
Change the rotation of objects when moving them.
Keep as-iskeeps the object rotation exactly as they are.Fit to holderwill upright each object that doesn't fit into the holder containing that object. e.g. A rectangular card that is upside-down will remain at 180 degrees. A card rotated 45 degrees in a non-rotated holder will be uprighted. A square card (width = height) rotated 90 degrees will remain at 90 degrees.CounterclockwiseandClockwisewill rotate objects one "step" to the left or right, relative to the current rotation of the object. The steps are specified on the card deck.Randomizewill set the rotation to a random angle, from the angles specified on the card deck.Set To...disregards the current rotation and sets cards to the specified rotation.
