public class Orbit3D

A drawing for rotation is set by the CADImage property of the Orbit3D class. When the Visible property is set to true, a 3D Orbit tool is displayed within the active viewport. After that you may rotate the drawing. Note: It’s necessary to set the Parent property that returns a control on which the CAD image is drawn. If a resizing the drawing is necessary call Draw method with new parameters. Click and drag the cursor to rotate the image. When you move your cursor over different parts of the 3D Orbit tool, the cursor icon changes. When you click to start dragging the appearance of your cursor indicates the rotation of the image as follows: A small sphere encircled by two lines is the cursor icon displayed when you move the cursor inside the 3D Orbit tool. When the cursor is a sphere you can manipulate the image by clicking and dragging. It works as if your cursor grabs a sphere surrounding the objects and drags the sphere around the target point. You can drag horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. A circular arrow around a small sphere is the cursor icon displayed when you move the cursor outside the 3D Orbit tool. Clicking outside the 3D Orbit tool and dragging the cursor around it moves the image around an axis that extends through the center of the 3D Orbit tool, perpendicular to the screen. This is called a "roll". A horizontal ellipse around a small sphere is the cursor icon displayed when you move the cursor over one of the smaller circles on the left or right side of the 3D Orbit tool. Clicking and dragging from either of these points rotates the image around the vertical or Y axis that extends through the center of the 3D Orbit tool. The Y axis is represented by a vertical line on the cursor. A vertical ellipse around a small sphere is the cursor displayed when you move the cursor over one of the smaller circles on the top or bottom of the 3D Orbit tool. Clicking and dragging from either of these points rotates the image around the horizontal or X axis that extends through the center of the 3D Orbit tool. The X axis is represented by a horizontal line on the cursor .
