AutoVue


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.

  1. Select Analysis > Manipulators from the AutoVue main menu.
