Main Steps
Select Faces Step
Allows you to select the faces you want to rotate.
Select Axis Step
Defines the axis about which you want to rotate.
Finish/Cancel
This button changes function as you move through the feature construction process. The Finish button constructs the feature using input provided in the other steps. Once you construct the feature, you can edit it by re-selecting the appropriate step on the command bar. The Cancel button discards any input and exits the command.
Select Faces Step Options
Select
Defines the faces or bodies you want to rotate.
Face--Specifies that you want to select individual faces.
Feature--Specifies that you want to select one or more features.
Body--Specifies that you want to select an entire body. This option is useful when working with imported data and you want to reposition it in a precise location. For example, you may want to reposition the body with respect to other parts in an assembly.
Automatically Select Blends
Automatically selects blends which are adjacent to the selected faces. This option is useful when you also want to rotate adjacent tangent faces, such as fillets or rounds on a part.
Select Axis Step Options
Axis Type
Defines the axis about which you want to rotate the faces.
By Geometry--Specifies that you want to select a face on the model to define the rotation axis. You can select a cylindrical or conical face.
By Points--Specifies that you want to use keypoints to define the rotation axis.
Rotation Angle
Sets the rotation angle.
Step Angle
Specifies the rotation step angle. The step angle specifies the increments, in degrees, that an element rotates along the rotation axis.
Keypoints
Sets the type of keypoint you can select. This option is only available when using the By Points option. The available keypoint options are specific to the command and workflow you use.
