Let’s do an example of a 3-D rotation. To make things
simple, you will start where you left off using the
Perspective tool. For this example to work, the
square/circle being transformed should already be copied
into the clipboard.
1. Choose “Paste” from the Edit menu.
2. Choose the Perspective tool from the tool palette.
3. Click down with the mouse on the width line and
release the mouse button immediately. The mouse
click will be used as the center of the transformation
in the Transform dialog.
4. Double-click on the Perspective tool. The Transform
dialog will be brought up ready to apply a 3-D
rotation.
5. Choose “Last mouse click” from the Center
transformations around pop-up menu.
6. Set the XY angle to 0, the XZ angle to 90, and the
YZ angle to 0.
7. Set the Perspective Point pop-up to “Basepoint.”
Important: If you wish to setup additional transforms in
this dialog, then make sure you do the perspective
transform last. Any transforms that occur after the
perspective transform will not have a three-dimensional
appearance.
When you are done, the Transform dialog should look like
