3DRotate and numeric input

[d.motshagen]

Hi all,

I work with ACAD2011 and I'm confused with the 3DRotate command. It is that I can't figure out how numeric input works, I can place the Gizmo at the disired origin, but wen I type in the desired angle then the object is never in the direction I wanted it to be.

So, how does it work?

Thanks,
Danny

Use the Right Hand Rule. Grab the rotation axis with your right hand, pointing the thumb to the positive side (where the arrowheads are pointing). The direction pointed by the 4 fingers is the positive rotation angle.
