Rotates or turns a view freely about a point or about an axis parallel to one of the axes in the global coordinate system. Unlike Common Views that only allows you to rotate a view by a predefined set of points, this command allows you to rotate the view in any direction. The rotation graphic is shown as a dashed green triad in the view with the selected rotation axis in red (the default highlight color).
Angle
Specifies the degrees about the selected axis to rotate the view. Type the value in the box, and press ENTER. When you rotate a view with the mouse, you can use the Angle box to monitor the current angle of rotation. Positive rotation is clockwise, and negative rotation is counter-clockwise.
Locate Objects
Locates the graphic objects in the view. When Locate Objects is ON, the view rotates around a selected object. When Locate Objects is OFF, the view rotates around the selected axis line.
Move Point of Rotation
Allows you to select a point or a line of rotation. Click Move Point of Rotation, and then select any point or line in the view about which to rotate.
Close
Closes the Rotate View command and the ribbon. If another command was active when you clicked Rotate View, that command resumes.
You can rotate a view at any time, even when you are using another command.
