In hsCADView, the Rotate About Vertical Vector Tool facilitates rotational movement around an up/down axis or vertical vector. (Note: depending upon the arbitrary assignment of axes this axis can either be X,Y, Z, or some other user defined vector.)

 

Using the Rotate About Vertical Vector Tool:

 

       Activate the Rotate About Vertical Vector Tool:

       Find the Rotate About Vertical Vector icon from the View Toolbar (color coded red) and highlight it. While highlighted Click on the tool.  The tool is now the active tool and ready for use.

 

Use the Mouse to Rotate the View about the Vertical Vector:

 

Reset:

You have just Rotated about the Vertical Vector.  The Tool has now Reset and you can choose a different tool or rotate about the vertical vector again.

Note: It may be helpful to watch the UCS icon in the bottom left corner of the drawing screen as you rotate the entity. Any axis that is moving toward you is represented with a solid line while an axis moving away is dotted.

Horizontal vector mode changes the active tool to Rotate about Horizontal Vector Tool. 

Up vector mode is the current mode for rotating the view about the vertical vector. 

Eye vector mode changes the active tool to Rotate about Eye Vector Tool.

Set target mode changes the active tool to Rotate about 3D Tool.
