Rotating a view within the Drawing: SolidWorks Tips and Things

Fri 3/24/2000 Tip #6

Did you know you could rotate a view within the drawing? For example if you make a section and want it rotated 90 degrees. Just select the rotate tool. The same tool as you use to rotate the model in the assembly or part. Choose the view you would like to rotate, click and drag. The view will rotate at incremental snaps with feedback on the screen on how many degrees you have rotated. Works great for sections, or to fit on screen or for clarity.
