Rotate Sketch Elements (3-D)

Sketch > Transform > Rotate...

Use this function to rotate individual elements of the active sketch. The rotation angle is determined via specification of the rotation point and two fitting points. Proceed as follows:

Identify the graphical element you want tot rotate.

Identify the rotation point (fixed point of rotation).

Specify one point on the graphical element, and one point in the drawing.

The element will be rotated about the specified rotation point in such a way that the fitting point selected for the element will be located on the Rotation point – Fitting pointconnection in the drawing.

Rotate sketch, 2 points *

Rotate polyline, 2 points

Rotates a complete polyline of the active sketch. You define the rotation angle by specifying the rotation point and two fitting points.

Rotate sketch, 2 points

Rotates the active sketch. You define the rotation angle by specifying the rotation point and two fitting points.

Example

Rotate sketch, about Angle *

Rotate individual GE

Rotates the selected graphical element by a specified angle. Define the rotation point, and enter the rotation angle.

Rotate polyline

Rotates a complete polyline of the active sketch by a specified angle.

Rotate sketch

Rotates the active sketch by a specified angle.

Move + Rotate sketch *

Move + Rotate individual GE

Moves and rotates a graphical element in one step.

Specify a fitting point on the element and its new position.
Select the rotation angle.

Move + Rotate polyline

Moves and rotates a complete polyline of the active sketch in one step.

Move + Rotate sketch

Moves and rotates the active sketch in one step.

Example

Rotate 3-D sketch **

Rotate c-edge, about edge

Rotates the active 3-D sketch about an edge.

Rotate c-edge, via 2 points

Rotates the active 3-D sketch about a rotation axis defined via 2 points.

Rotate c-edge, about X-axis

Rotates the active 3-D sketch about the X-axis of the active coordinate system.

Rotate c-edge, about Y-axis

Rotates the active 3-D sketch about the Y-axis of the active coordinate systems.

Rotate c-edge, about Z-axis

Rotates the active 3-D sketch about the Z-axis of the active coordinate system.

* only for planar sketches, ** only for 3-D sketches

The Clone functions work in the same way as the same-named Transform functions. When using the Clone functions, you need to additionally specify the number of copies ("clones"), including the original.
