3D Viewer - Rotate

melview1

I'm starting to play with the new 3D Viewer.  How do I view the other side of my PCB in isometric view?  It looks to only show an isometric Top side and I want to see the an isometric Bottom side.  Or at a minimum be able to actively rotate the design.

Thanks.

    Ya, very limited when it comes to rotating inside the viewer. What you need to do is inside the viewer do an export to pdf. Once you have generated a pdf of your design open it and spin it the way you like. Just like the old viewer. I have no clue as to why they did not put in a spin inside the new 3D. Maybe later I hope.

    Hi, You can rotate the view dynamically in the 3D Canvas by holding down the Shift Key+Middle Mouse Button.

    Hope this helps,

    Mike, Sure does thanks for sharing. However, Inside the tool there is nothing to suggest this view option under the 'View" tab for the user. Where does one go to find this option?

    Works great.  Thanks Mike.

    Dale, I also found out that middle mouse button only lets you drag the design too.
