Are you looking to master the art of rotating the 3D view in Altium for your PCB design projects? Look no further! Here's a quick guide to help you easily navigate and visualize your designs in 3D.

Step 1: Open Your PCB Design in Altium

First, ensure that you have your PCB design open in Altium. If you haven't already, import your PCB layout and components into the software.

Step 2: Access the 3D View

Once your design is open, navigate to the 'View' menu and select 'Workspace Panels' followed by 'PCB.' This will open the PCB panel where you can access the 3D view.

Step 3: Enable 3D View

In the PCB panel, locate the 'View' tab and click on '3D Layout Mode' to enable the 3D view for your design.

Step 4: Rotate the View

Now that the 3D view is enabled, you can easily rotate the view to visualize your design from different angles. Simply click and hold the left mouse button on the 3D view and move your mouse to rotate the view in any direction.

Step 5: Zoom and Pan

In addition to rotation, you can also zoom in and out of the 3D view using the mouse scroll wheel. To pan the view, hold down the middle mouse button and move your mouse to shift the view horizontally or vertically.

Step 6: Reset the View

If you need to reset the view to its default orientation, simply right-click on the 3D view and select 'Reset View' from the context menu.

By following these simple steps, you can easily rotate, zoom, and pan the 3D view in Altium to gain a deeper understanding of your PCB design. This will help you identify any potential issues and make informed decisions for your project.

So, next time you're working on a PCB design in Altium, make sure to take advantage of the 3D view rotation feature to get a comprehensive view of your design from all angles. Happy designing!
