Rotation Handles

The rotation handles allow you to rotate the Graphical Selection around the relevant axis.

Dragging a Rotation handle rotates the handle and the Graphical Selection about the axis of rotation. Clicking over the relevant rotation handle and moving the mouse pointer performs the rotation. Clicking the left mouse button again positions the Graphical Selection.

The angular movement from the original orientation is shown as the Model Editor Handle is rotated. The angular displacement is also shown in the status bar.

As the mouse moves over a rotation handle, the pointer symbol changes to the rotation drag symbol, and half of the Rotation Handle arc changes to show two arrows. This feedback indicates which of the axes will be aligned with a feature when feature alignment is used.
