In hsCADView, the Rotate View 3D Tool facilitates the simultaneous rotational movement of an entity about all three axes with the origin at a user defined Target. (Note: depending upon the arbitrary assignment of axes a particular axis can be X,Y, or Z.)

 

Using the Rotate 3D Tool:

 

       Activate the Rotate 3D Tool:

       Find the Rotate 3D Tool 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 in 3D about the Target:

 

Reset:

You have just Rotated about the Target Point.  The Tool has now Reset and you can choose a different tool or rotate about the Target Point 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.

Note: It may be necessary to reset the rotation. 

 

 

 

Tool Options:

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

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

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

Set target mode is the current mode for rotating the view about the Target in 3D.

Target point depicts the point about which the rotation will occur. 

Escape (Esc): key cancels current tool and activates the default tool (Pan Tool).

Space: key Resets this tool.
