Rotate View

Rotate about axis
Rotate step-by-step

Rotate about axis

Views > Transform > Rotate > About axis

The active view is rotated about the x-, y- or z-axis of the world coordinate system, the active coordinate system or the screen coordinate system. The spatial centre is always the fixed point of the rotation.

A corresponding selection window is displayed, enabling you to select the rotation axis and the coordinate system and to enter the angle of rotation.

Choose the axis and the coordinate system.
Enter the rotation angle.
Choose Execute rotation(s) to rotate the view.

(1) Original view, (2) Rotation about X-axis of World CS (45°), (3) Rotation about X-axis of Drawing CS (45°)

Rotate step-by-step

Views > Transform > Rotate > Step-by-step

The view is rotated step-by-step about the screen horizontal or the axially parallel vertical.

You use the blue icons to set the increment for the rotation: 15, 45 or 90 degrees or any other increment of your choosing.

You use the red icons to perform the rotation to the top, bottom left or right.

If the original view is a parallel projection, it remains so even after you have executed the function. In other words, perpendicular axes remain parallel to the screen border.
