To Interactively Rotate the Drawing Plane Axes

  1. With the focus in the AccuDraw window, press <R>,<A>.
  2. Enter a data point to locate the x-axis origin.
  3. Enter a data point to define the direction of the x-axis.

    As a result, the plane of the y-axis relative to the x-axis is implied (perpendicular to the x-axis). All that remains, is to define the direction of the y-axis in that plane.

  4. Enter a data point to define the direction of the y-axis about the x-axis.
