Are you struggling to navigate the 3D view in Altium while working on your PCB design? Don't worry, I've got you covered! In this article, I'll show you a simple and quick way to rotate the 3D view in Altium. Let's get started!

Step 1: Open your PCB design project in Altium Designer. If you haven't already, go ahead and launch the software and open your project.

Step 2: Once your project is open, navigate to the View tab in the main menu. Click on the '3D Layout Mode' option to switch to the 3D view of your PCB design.

Step 3: Now that you are in the 3D view, you can easily rotate the view to get a better perspective of your design. Simply hold down the right mouse button and move the mouse to rotate the view in any direction you like.

Step 4: You can also use the keyboard shortcuts to rotate the view. Hold down the Shift key and the right mouse button, then move the mouse to rotate the view. This method provides more precise control over the rotation.

Step 5: If you want to reset the view to its default orientation, simply press the 'R' key on your keyboard. This will bring the view back to its original position.

Step 6: Experiment with different angles and perspectives by rotating the 3D view to get a better understanding of your PCB design. This can be especially useful when inspecting components, checking for clearances, and analyzing the overall layout.

Step 7: Once you are done with the 3D view, you can easily switch back to the 2D layout mode by clicking on the '2D Layout Mode' option in the View tab.

That's it! You now know how to rotate the 3D view in Altium Designer. With these simple steps, you can easily navigate and inspect your PCB design from different perspectives, making it easier to identify and address any potential issues.
