Rotating a Model Along the X, Y and Z-Axis

From the Manipulate menu, select Manipulate.
You are now in Manipulate mode.

Note: From the AutoVue toolbar, you can also click Manipulate .

Select the model part or parts that you want to manipulate.

Note: To select more than one part, press the Shift or Control key when selecting.

A model-size representation of the Global Axes appears through the model part or parts and are enclosed by a three-dimensional box.

Click and hold the mouse button on the sphere at the end of the axis you want to rotate.

Clicking on an axis sphere allows rotation around one of the other two axes.

Move the mouse to rotate the model by the selected axis.

Note: If you want to rotate the selection freely, as done in Rotate Mode, press the Control key during rotation.
