## Function Description:
This command is used to rotate objects around a 3D axis.
## Command Access:

> **Command:** ROTATE3D
> **Alias:** /
## Command Prompts:
```
Select object:
Specify first point on axis or define axis by
[Object/Last/View/Xaxis/Yaxis/Zaxis/2points]:
```
## **Object**
Aligns the selected object to the rotation axis.
- **Line:**
Aligns the selected object to the rotation axis.
- **Angle:**
Rotates the object around the selected line by a specified angle.
- **Reference:**
Specifies reference angle and new angle. The difference value between the start angle and endpoint angle is the rotation angle.
- **Circle:**
Aligns the rotation axis to the 3D axis of the circle (the rotation axis passes through the circle center and is perpendicular to the circle plane).
- **Arc:**
Aligns the rotation axis to the 3D axis of the arc (the rotation axis passes through the arc center and is perpendicular to the arc plane).
- **2D-polyline segment:**
Aligns the rotation axis to the polyline. The line in polyline can be seemed as a line segment and the arc in polyline can be seemed as an arc segment.
## **Last**
Rotates the selected object by the previous axis.
## **View**
Aligns the rotation axis to the observation direction of the current viewport that passes through the specified point.
## **Xaxis, Yaxis, Zaxis**
Aligns the rotation axis to one of the axes (X, Y or Z) that pass through the selected point.
## **2points**
Specifies the rotation axis by two points.
