br0604bom Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 are you able to change the axis on which you are drawing with one button in autocad? what i mean is, if you go to draw in the 3d file and the rectangle you are drawing is presented flat as if on the ground, can you then press a button to make it appear you are drawing on a wall? many thanks to someone with an answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Open your "View" toolbar. It contains buttons that will allow you to switch to Front, Top, Left, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br0604bom Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) okay, I'll go with that cad 64, cheers, in actual fact, i answered that a little quickly, I don't mean the way you view the drawing, i mean when you are in the middle of drawing a reactangle or square, for it to change from the x to the y axis, flipping it as you draw it, not sure i made it clear enough Edited July 31, 2010 by br0604bom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally never use either of those commends and either rotate my UCS or the object itself afterward. It's really all what's easiest for you...
