Rotate ACS

Used to rotate the active ACS. The origin is not moved. The selected ACS is rotated by the angles specified along the X, Y and Z axes.

You can access this tool from the following:

  • Ribbon: Drawing > Drawing Aids > ACS
  • Ribbon: Modeling > Drawing Aids > ACS
  • Ribbon: Visualization > Drawing Aids > ACS
  • Toolbox: ACS


Setting Description
(Technology Preview) ACS Lets you select the desired ACS. You can adjust the ACS view between rotate, side, and top from the drop-down menu.
Angle X Lets you enter the rotation angle for X-axis.
Angle Y Lets you enter the rotation angle for Y-axis.
Angle Z Lets you enter the rotation angle for Z-axis.
Absolute If On, the rotation angle of the ACS is calculated from the global ACS.

If off, the rotation angle of the ACS is calculated from the current ACS position.

(Technology Preview) Show Manipulator If On, shows the X, Y and Z axis enabling you to rotate the ACS about the selected axis.
