Spinning Your Design

  1. Click Spin in the Orient group on the Design tab.
    You can also select one of the following from the Spin dropdown:
    • On Center to spin around the center of your design.
    • On Cursor to spin around the cursor location.
  2. Click and drag to spin your design.

    You can also rotate around a highlighted object. Select a line, edge or axis, then press Alt and drag. You can set this as the default spin action by setting the advanced Discovery option Rotate about preselected object in spin. This option also applies when using the middle mouse button to spin when working in any tool.

    You may find it easier to reach a desired orientation if you use short mouse drags to spin the design a little bit at a time.
    If you double-click a face while using the Spin tool, the face is zoomed so that it fills the design window. You can always zoom using the scroll wheel, or Shift-click the middle mouse button and drag up or down.
