Manipulators
In AutoVue, you can rotate 3D CAD models along a specific axis. You can scale a model part up and down, as well as translate the model.
Using the Manipulators, you can resize, translate and/or rotate selected parts of the model. When you select one or more model parts, AutoVue displays a model-size representation of the Global Axes going through the selected part(s) of the 3D model.
