When you insert a 3D macro, you can rotate the angle of the macro in 90° increments at the handle. Up to 40 different mounting positions can be implemented with a single 3D macro by changing the handles. These options also apply to devices whose parts have been assigned a 3D macro.
Preconditions:
- You have opened a project.
- The layout space navigator is open and a layout space is open.
- Select the Insert > Window macro / symbol macro menu items, and open a 3D macro for placement.
- Select the Options > Change rotation angle menu items.
The position of the 3D macro will be rotated by 90° counter-clockwise. Each time the Options > Change rotation angle menu items are selected, the macro is rotated a further 90°. - Click [A] to change the handle.
- At the changed handle, select the Options > Change rotation angle menu items again. You can set four different rotation angles at each available handle. This means that with nine default handles and one user-defined handle, as many as 40 possible positions can be implemented.
Tip:
You can also use the [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [R] shortcut key to change the rotation angle while inserting.
