Ever wish there was a faster way to free-drag rotate a component in an assembly prior to applying mates other than using  1) Move With Triad or 2) Rotate Component? Wait no longer. Thanks to the Ronco Division at SolidWorks, a this-can’t-be-any-easier method of Free Drag rotation has been included in your copy of SolidWorks. And with old-school technology.

A simple RIGHT-mouse button click/hold/drag on the component to be rotated will leave you as happy as a tornado in a trailer park.

Join us next time when Shortcut Alert! helps you route the super-secret back way to your favorite lunch establishment.
