Exploded view > Motion type > Rotate. 
If the Exploded view mode is active, you can use this function to define rotations for the exploded view.
When you call the function, the Rotate dialogue window will be displayed:
- In the next step, specify the settings for the rotation.
The rotation angle can be determined selecting a point, by entering a value or by selecting two points. If required, choose the desired type of rotation before determining the angle. If the Select rotation axis field is highlighted with an orange frame, you can determine the axis immediately. If this is not the case, click the 
. Diesymbol to choose the axis. The rotation axis can be determined by selecting two points, or an edge, or a surface. In case of a surface, the rotation axis will be defined by the surface normal. You can also use the functions of the context menu (right-click) to determine the rotation axis.
The further procedure depends on the type of angle determination you choose:
- Point
Here you determine the angle dynamically with the cursor. The parts to be rotated will be "attached" to the cursor after choosing the rotation axis and can be rotated by selecting a point. The start point of the rotation axis will be determined automatically and is located in the centroid of the bounding box (the smallest possible cuboid that covers the selected parts completely). The end point of the rotation will be the specified point. The Angle field will be greyed out here.
Video: Rotation - Point- Value input
The selected parts will be rotated, according to the specified angle, about the rotation axis. - 2 points
The two points determine the start and the end point of the rotation.
During rotation axis determination a preview of the rotation will be shown.
Alternatively, to determine the rotation axis, you can also use the functions of the context menu, which you activate with a right-click.
- In the lower area of the dialogue window, you can determine whether mounting tracks are to be entered in the model drawing that mark the course of a transformation:
If the Apply immediately checkbox is active, the transformation will be immediately accepted - as shown in the preview - and entered into the explosion log, i.e. you do not have to click the Apply button. If further parts are selected immediately afterwards - without changing the other settings - the same transformation is carried out immediately for these parts without the parts appearing in the selection list.
If the checkbox is not active, then use buttons. If you click OK the transformation will be accepted and the dialogue window is closed. If you click Apply the current transformation will be accepted. Unlike OK, the dialogue window will not be closed here, so that further transformations can be defined. If you click Cancel the dialogue window will be closed. Transformations that have not yet been adopted are lost.
Each applied transformation will be logged in the Exploded view docking window. Exploded views can be subsequently edited via this log.
