Make sure your vertical part (tag 1) is at x,y =0,0.  Rotations are 
around 0, so you could rotate both tags 1 and 2, or just tag 2.

In fact, if you rotated the entire structure, it would move your 
feedpoint, but the structure remains connected.

If you need to have the "origin" somewhere else, then build the 
structure at 0,0, then rotate it with a GM card, then translate it with 
another GM card
