Rotate 3D by Dragging

You can drag the pointer to rotate the part:

  1. From the Graphic Modes toolbar, selecting the 3D Rotate Mode icon to open the 3D Rotate dialog box.

  2. Right-click and drag the pointer.

To rotate your part with or without the Rotate dialog box open, press Ctrl + right-click, and drag the pointer. Also, you can do this if you hold the mousewheel button and drag the pointer. (Note that this does not work in the Vista operating system. Instead, it activates the Switch Between Windows scrolling functionality.)
