How do I rotate an object around its basepoint so another part of it is snapped to another point?
What I want to do is Rotate object #1 around point "A" so that point "B" connects to another point. The finished rotation would look like Item 2, with the original point "B" connected to another point (point "C" in the illustration). I can't rotate the object a specific angle because I don't know the angle, and it changes for each object that needs to be rotated. (I'm drawing a curved roller section for work). HELP!!!

I probably didn't word it right.
I have two offset arcs, with point "A" being connected to the inner arc, and point "B connected to the outer arc. I have a point on the outer arc that I want to move "B" to, while "A" remains in the same spot, in essence rotating the item around point "A". Does that make sense? |

The way I read your question you dont want point A to move just point B like pictured below. 
But your diagram in OP looks like you want point A to follow the arc around and you just want to make point B fall on a specific point with unknown angle. Like Pictured below.
