Adjust Rotation

To adjust the rotation, enter a new value into the rotation field in the designer entry fields on the left panel. Note: Leaving a rotation field blank will have the same effect as a zero.

Dimension Types

The way the dimensions are measured can be changed by using the dimension buttons. Click on the distance to apex Apex.png or length of straight Strlen.png to set the dimension type.

180° Bends

In the linear 3D designer, 180° bends are handled the same way as all other bends. To add a 180° bend, enter "180" into the angle field of the bend.
