Center of rotation in the simulation

Application

By default, the center of rotation in the simulation is at the center of the model. When you zoom in, the center of rotation is always shifted to the center of the model. If you want to rotate the simulation around a specific point, then you can define the center of rotation manually.

Description of function

Use the Center of rotation function to manually set the center of rotation for the simulation.

The control shows the Center of rotation symbol as follows, depending on the status:

Symbol

Function

The center of rotation is at the center of the model.

The symbol blinks. The center of rotation can be shifted.

The center of rotation was set manually.

Setting the center of rotation to a corner of the simulated workpiece

To set the center of rotation to a corner of the workpiece:

  1. Select an operating mode (e.g., Editor)
  2. Open the Simulation workspace
  3. The center of rotation is at the center of the model.

  1. Select Center of rotation
  2. The control switches the Center of rotation symbol. The symbol blinks.
  3. Select a corner of the simulated workpiece
  4. The center of rotation is defined. The control switches the Center of rotation symbol to "set".
