Rotating Parts by Axis
The following steps outline the process to rotate a subassembly or a leaf part along one or more of the X, Y, and Z axes in its own coordinate system:
- Select the subassembly or part.
- Right-click the subassembly or part.
- Click Rotate by Axis in the Part context menu. The X, Y, and Z rotation axes appear near the model.
- Drag the X, Y, and Z axes by one to rotate the subassembly or part as necessary.
Once the necessary orientation is achieved, quit the manual geometry transformation mode. This can be done in two ways:
- Click outside the rotated subassembly or part.
- Press Escape on the keyboard.
The new subassembly or part orientation is preserved. The 3D CAD model is ready for viewing and other manipulations.
