Based on the provided information describing the Rotate command in Fusion 360, the process involves selecting the items you wish to rotate, defining a pivot point, and specifying an angle. While the reference outlines a general method for rotating selected objects in the canvas, which can include elements within a drawing view, this process can be applied when you need to rotate drawing elements or potentially the view itself if it can be selected as an object.
Here are the steps based on the reference:
Steps to Rotate Elements Using the Rotate Command
The Rotate command in Fusion 360 allows you to turn selected objects around a chosen base point. Follow these steps as described in the reference:
-
Access the Rotate Command:
- Navigate to the Modify section within your workspace.
- Select the Rotate command. (Reference: "1. Select Modify Rotate . The Rotate dialog displays.")
- The Rotate dialog box will then appear on your screen, providing options for the rotation.
-
Select the Objects to Rotate:
- In the canvas, click or click and drag to select the specific objects you intend to rotate. This could be lines, text, or other entities within your drawing view that you want to reorient. (Reference: "2. Click or click and drag to select objects in the canvas.")
-
Set the Transformation Type in the Dialog:
- Within the active Rotate dialog box, locate and select Transform.
- Then, choose the Rotate option from the available transformations. (Reference: "3. In the Rotate dialog, select Transform Rotate.")
-
Define the Base Point:
- You need to specify the base point that the selected objects will rotate around. Click a location in the canvas to set this pivot point for the rotation. (Reference: "4. Specify a base point for the objects to rotate around.")
-
Specify the Rotation Angle:
- Enter the desired rotation angle. You can typically input a precise numerical value or manipulate the objects graphically to achieve the required orientation. (Reference: "5. Specify the rotation angle. ...")
-
Finalize the Rotation:
- Once the base point and angle are set, click OK in the Rotate dialog box. (Reference: "6. Click OK.")
- The selected objects will be rotated according to your specifications.
This method, as described in the provided information, details how to use the general Rotate command on selected objects within your Fusion 360 canvas, including elements you might want to rotate within a drawing view.
