    Default How to rotate an object in solidworks please?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to rotate the an image in solidworks?
    I have attached one image i need it to stay basically upside down rather than layed down like it is.
    Do i need to change it from the sketch or is there anything which allows my image to be rotated?

    Thank you

    I moved your thread to the SolidWorks forum.

    Why do you need to rotate?
    Hold down mouse wheel and move mouse.
    If you are trying to change relative to coordinate system, why? It should be irrelevant. A part can be in any orientation in an assembly.
    More information on the true problem description is needed.
