How to rotate horizontally about the screen.



Solution

 A. Set the current screen Coordinate System (CSYS) to be active. 
 1. In the Menu, select 'View-->Operation-->Orient'. 
 2. Toggle 'Type' to: CSYS of Current View. 
 3. OK. 
Now the CSYS of the current view is active.


[Optional:] If it is needed to see the exact location of the current screen 
CSYS, the Work Coordinate System (WCS) can be aligned to the current screen 
CSYS. 
 1. In the Menu, select 'Format-->WCS-->Orient'. 
 2. Toggle 'Type' to: CSYS of Current View. 
 3. OK.


B. Rotate about the horizontal of the current screen CSYS. 
 1. In the Menu, select 'View-->Operation-->Rotate'. 
 2. In the 'Fixed Axis' grouping, select 'X-axis'. 
 Graphically a horizontal vector will appear to show you the current 
 rotation will be horizontally on the screen. 
 3. Enter the 'Angle Increment'. 
 For example: 45.0 
 4. OK the Rotate View dialog. 
The view will be rotated 45 degrees horizontally about the viewing CSYS. 


NOTE: The CSYS of the current view is such that the X-axis is parallel to the 
bottom of the view; the Y-axis is parallel to side of the view; the origin is 
the origin of the view (in the middle of the graphics window).
