The Rotation axis is highlighted by a dot-dash line in the 3D view.

  1. Right-click on the line/edge which you want to define as the rotation axis.

    -> The corresponding context menu opens.

  2. Select the command Attributes -> Rotation axis.

    -> The initially red marked line/edge then shows up as dotted line axis and in the Sketch history beside the feature which is containing the rotation axis, a respective icon is displayed.

  3. First take over these changes by pressing the Sketch OK button.

    -> The 2D Sketcher is closed.

    In the 3D view the Rotation axis is now visible as well.
