Rotating a Model Along the X, Y and Z-Axis
- Select Analysis > Manipulators from the AutoVue main menu.
You are now in Manipulators mode.
Note You can also click the Manipulators icon
on the AutoVue toolbar or right-click in the workspace and select Manipulators. In the Model Tree, you can select the model part(s), then right-click and select Manipulators from the pop-up menu.
- Select the model part or parts that you want to manipulate.
Note To select more than one part, press the Shift or Ctrl 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.
Note The initial mouse movement determines which of the two axes will mark the site of rotation. If the axis you chose does not rotate around the right axis for the rotation that you want to make, click the sphere again and move the mouse in a different direction.
- 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 Ctrl key during rotation.
- To remove the Manipulators, click the Manipulators
icon.
Note To remove Manipulators, you can also select Analysis > Manipulators.
Mouse actions are restored to what they were prior to entering Manipulators mode.
