How to free rotate a part in an assembly around an axis?


Recommended Posts

I made a rectangular extrusion with a work axis which i constrained to a predefined assembly axis.

Now i use the Rotate Component tool, but it has no controls.

I want to choose the axis about which i want to free rotate, is it possible?

Rotate Component tool is intended to OVERRIDE any constraints.

To rotate around an axis simply click and drag with the mouse.

 

If you want to drive the rotation add a Directed Angle constraint and Drive Constraint.

The drive constraint leaves the part in the last step, changing the value of the constraint.

I don't want it this way, and in the help it's written that the Drive Constraint is merely a temporary animation, which isn't, as i see.
