Rotate 180 dgr around Dimetric - how ?

Hi, in my part file I use the view "Dimetric" how can I rotate exactly this Dimetric 180 degrees arond a XYZ or line ?

Thanks Dennis

Hi Wayne, I tried with [Shift]-down and rotate without success. In a drawing-file it's possible to make exactly rotation, but only in 2D

I have put up a screen-shot for what I need:

Thanks Dennis

The best I can figure is to put an axis in the center (You did create the part with midplanes, didn't you??) and then select that axis as the center of rotation to manually turn it. It does, in fact rotate around it in the direction I think you want, but I don't see any way to rotate in exactly 90° increments. You can rotate it manually like that to about where you want it and create a new view at that orientation. Then use those created views for your drawing.

There are many variations of this "method" - this was the first one I found. Should work with diametric view as well.

Dennis,

Is there a edge (vertical or horizontal) that you can select and then rotate about that edge?

Try selecting the rear view and resetting this as your front view - then when you select dimetric view it will be from the other side.

The other option may be to modify the 4 or 8 iso view macro (compliments of some of the generous people that post here) and make it create 4 / 8 dimetric views instead.

Merry :-)
