SOLIDEDIT
Rotate Faces on 3D Solids
You rotate selected faces or a collection of features on a solid, such as holes,
by choosing a base point and a relative or absolute rotation angle. All 3D
faces rotate about a specified axis. The current UCS and the
ANGDIR system
variable setting determine the direction of the rotation. You can specify the
axis of rotation using two points; an object; the X, Y, or Z axis; or the Z direc-
tion with respect to the line of sight in the current view.
To rotate a face on a solid object
1 From the Modify menu, choose Solids Editing ➤ Rotate Faces.
2 Select the face to rotate (1).
3 Select additional faces or press
ENTER to rotate.
4 Enter z for the axis point.
You can also specify the X or Y axis, two points (defines the axis of
rotation), or axis by object (aligns the axis of revolution with an existing
object) to define the axis point. The positive axis direction is from the start
point to the endpoint, and the rotation follows the right-hand rule, unless
it is reversed by the setting of the
ANGDIR system variable.
5 Specify the angle of rotation.
