Note

Rotation works in a slightly different way for 3D objects

because the rotation occurs in 3D space and not in one plane.

See Chapter 7 (Working with 3D Objects) in the Draw Guide

regarding rotation when Edit Points mode is active.

To rotate an object (or a group of objects), drag the red corner handle

points of the selection with the mouse. The mouse cursor takes the

shape of an arc of a circle with an arrow at each end. A dotted outline

of the object being rotated appears and the current angle of rotation is

dynamically shown in the status bar.

Rotations are made about an axis which is displayed as a small symbol.

You can move the axis of rotation with the mouse, as shown in

Figure 177.

If you hold down the Shift key during the rotation, the operation will be

carried out in increments of 15°.

Figure 177: Rotating an object

Inclination and perspective

To slant or shear objects, use the red handles located at the midpoint

of an edge of the selected objects. The mouse pointer changes to a

when the pointer hovers over one of these midpoint handles. Not every

object can be slanted. Basic shapes can be rotated but not slanted.

The slant axis is the point directly opposite the midpoint handle to be

used for shearing the object. This point stays fixed in location; the

other sides and edges move in relation to it as the mouse is dragged

(make sure that the handle icon is showing before dragging).

As with rotation, you can set the inclination to occur as steps of 15° by

pressing the Shift key while moving the handle.
