7.6.2.6.2.  Rotate...

Initial situation:

The sketch is displayed in the 3D view. An axis of rotation is selected.

  1. Call up the context menu of the sketch using the secondary mouse button and select the command Solids [Base] -> Rotate.... [Rotate...]

    Call: Solids [Base] -> Rotate [Rotate...]..

    Call: Solids [Base] -> Rotate [Rotate...]..

    [Note]Note

    A rotation axis [Rotation axis] is required to rotate the 2D sketch. If this has not yet been defined in the Sketcher [Sketcher], the following error message appears when you call up the Rotate... [Rotate...] command.

    The rotation axis [Rotation axis] is shown as a dashed line in the 3D view of the sketch.

    -> The Rotating body [Rotational solid] window opens.

    [Note]Note

    Hold down CTRL while clicking the corresponding Quick Access icon in the 3D History [3D History] to perform the action immediately and skip the input dialog.

  2. Specify the criteria (angle [Angle], etc.) for the rotation and confirm with OK. Please refer to Section 7.6.2.6.1, “ Extrude... ” for an explanation of the other fields.

    -> The directory tree in the 3D history [3D History] is extended by the item Base rotate 1.

    [Note]Note

    You can change the name using the context menu command Rename. However, only use ANSI characters (in simple terms: a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and spaces).

    -> In the 3D view, you can see that the two-dimensional representation of the rectangle has become a cylinder due to rotation.
