This is possible with the virtual 3D simulator in full mode. You need to group the pars you wish to rotate around a central point into their own layer(not folder) and then select the "link" checkbox. See the working with layers tutorial under the Virtual 3D simulator heading

Note that it's not possible to create new layers if working in Limited Mode. You are limited to the Objects and Fixtures layers. The only way of doing this in limited mode is if you drag all the fixtures you do not want to include in the circle into the objects layer.

Thanks for that always wondered how I could do that, I always had to do it the long way.
