Re-orientation of XYZ to object

Is there a way to re-orient an objects X Y Z? Example....I have an object who's current Y axis is 45 degrees off where I want it to be in line cutting through the center of my object. How can I set the Y axis up into a proper alignment?

  • Here's one of my objects. So I need to rotate the Y axis so the X and Z are turned in the picture to the right about 45 dgrees.

    It looks like you have rotated the object in Y direction. If you set it to 0 in Parameters pane, it will rotata back (alt-clicking a value will reset it to its default value.

    If you want to keep the object rotation, but just wants the movement axis aligned with world coordinates, go to the Tool Settings pane and swith it to 'Use World Coordinates). The setting is individual for each (movement) tool.

  • Cool....let me give these a try

  • worked! thanks!
