Auto Cad 3d Rotate

Auto Cad 3d Rotate

As we know guys Auto Cad is computer aided designing software which is most popular among engineering designing professionals. Auto Cad offers us many type of command for handling parameters of drawing in it. It has range of both 2d and 3d commands so today we will discuss one of 3d command of this software which is 3d rotate command in auto cad.

What is 3d rotate in Auto Cad?

3d rotate is a 3d modeling command by which you can rotate a 3d object in all of the three axis such as x, y and z axis by following its simple steps. We can use 2d rotate command also as 3d rotate command in some cases. So let us have a look on 3d rotate command of Auto Cad.

How to do chamfer in Auto Cad?

We can use 3d rotate command on any 3d object very easily, we just have to follow some simple steps. So for rotating 3d object in Auto Cad we have two methods that are by using by using 2d rotate command on 3d object and by using 3d rotate command of 3d modeling workspace. So first we will discuss 2d rotate in auto cad for rotating of 3d object.

Before going through this method let us have a quickly review on the User Interface of this software so that handling of this software become easy for us. Starting from top here we have different Menus such as Home menu, Insert Menu, Annotation menu and some others, each of them helps us for managing of command and tool of this software, move to next section that is display window which is at the middle of this software, in this window you can see your drawn object of any drawing or whatever you draw in this software that will be display on it, if we talk about button end of this software then there are many option of navigation which helps us in handling of parameters during our working in this software.

Auto Cad by default offers you a workspace window of 'Drafting and Annotation' workspace. This is Drafting and Annotation workspace for 2d drawing work.

Now for using rotate command on 3d object we have to switch to 3d workspace so go to Workspace switcher option which is a the bottom of the display window of this software. Click on it, a popup window will be open like this, choose 3d Basics workspace from here.
Once you click on this option your workspace will be change into this working window.

Now go to Create tab of Home menu and click on down arrow button of Box command icon. A popup list of command will be open, choose any one of the 3d object command. I will choose Wedge command for drawing a 3d object.

Now draw the base of Wedge by dragging mouse pointer or you can give a particular value to the base of this Wedge shape.

Now for giving height of this wedge you can give the value of height or simple drag the mouse pointer in the upward direction and press mouse click to draw it.

 Now go to Modify tab of Home menu and click on the down arrow key of Move command and click on Rotate command of popup list.

Now rotate command will ask you to select the object for rotation. I will select this 3d object with this command and press enter key.

Now the command will ask you to choose the point round which the object will be rotate so i will choose bottom point of this 3d object.

Now mouse the pointer to rotate it around your chosen point and press mouse click to rotate or you can enter a rotation angle through keyboard enter the press enter key for apply the value.

Now let us have a look on the second method for rotating any 3d object. For this method we have to again switch the workspace so again go to Workspace switcher and click on it. Choose 3D modeling workspace from the popup list and your workspace will look like this working window.

 Now go to Modify tab of Home menu and click on the icon of 3d Rotate tool for having it.

Now command will ask you to select the object for rotation. I will click on this 3d object.

And press enter key. Once you press enter key rotation angle of all axis will come on the center of this 3d object.

You can rotate this object in along any axis by selecting the rotation circle of that axis.

Select that circle around which you want to rotate by click on it with mouse button and move mouse pointer for rotation.

You can give angle of rotation manually through keyboard enter then press enter key. I will give 60 degree of rotation angle then press enter key for rotation.



So this is all about the 3d rotate command in Auto Cad. You can now handle its parameters without any problem and use it for making good object of engineering drawing. After this article there will be no doubt in your mind about 3d rotate command of Auto Cad.
