Simple Part Orientation
Orienting a Part is easily accomplished by modifying its local coordinate system. When specifying an orientation, the local U', V', W' triad is displayed. Mousing over an arrow will cause it to enlarge. Clicking and Dragging will move the Part along the selected principle axis. Additionally, the right click menu provides capabilities including rotations and translations.
Here, a magnetic ferrite circulator is being designed for a microwave application. The rotation option is utilized to easily and evenly space the three microstrips at 120 degree increments.
