2. Click the auxiliary view, right-click, and select Rotate from the con-
text menu.

4. Click the straight edge on the right side of the view per Figure 2.13.
FIGURE 2.13 Rotating the drawing view can make
detailing easier.
5. Click OK after the part has been rotated.
Now that the view has been rotated, you can detail it. But you might also want
to reestablish an alignment with the base view to help others understand the
geometry.
This exercise shows an uncommon and specialized drawing practice. It is built
around the classic drafting idea of making it easier for people to recognize the
geometry.
1. Make certain that the 2013 Essentials project file is active, and then
open c02-07.idw from the Drawings\Chapter​2 folder.
2. In the Modify panel, expand the options under Break Alignment and
select Vertical.
3. Click the rotated auxiliary view and then the base view. See Figure 2.14
for the results.
Now that you think you have enough room between the views and they are
aligned, you will make some of them easier to interpret.
