Animation in AutoCAD by using ORBIT command.

Last week, we learned how to take section cuts from 3D models. Today, let us learn animating the drawings by using ORBITcommand.

Figure 1

Run the command and right click in the green circle and select the ‘Continuous Orbit‘ option from the More tab. This option enables a continuous motion that we defined.

Figure 2

If you do not like the wire frame view and want a colored one, again right click in the circle and select ‘Gouraud Shaded‘ option from the ‘Shading Modes‘ tab. You should get a figure like the one above.
