How to rotate a sketch in Fusion

Technical Support

Issue:

How to rotate a sketch or sketch objects in Fusion. 

Causes:

The axis selection does not allow coplaner objects to be selected. 

Solution:

Since the rotate function within the move/copy command does not allow for coplaner points as the axis center point, a 3D sketch line should be used to define the axis as described:

  1. Edit the sketch required.
  2. Enable 3D sketch from the sketch palette.
  3. Draw a 3D line at the point which the axis starts.
  4. Use Move/Copy and pick Rotate.
  5. Select the newly created 3D line as the axis.
  6. Rotate the sketch objects accordingly.

Note: Be aware of the constraints that are applied to the geometry of sketch automatically, and use "Move" command. 

Another example of this is explained in the following screencast:
