Using parts in 3D

You can carry out the following actions on 3D parts:

• Move: click and drag a part to move it to a new location
• Select: click on a part to select it. In spaces with a split 2D/3D view, selecting a part in 2D will cause it to be selected in 3D as well.
• Rotate: use the Rotation buttons in the part's Properties pane to control a part's 3D rotation.
• Choose a type: In some cases, a part may have several real-life Types that can be shown in 3D. For example, a battery is generic in the 2D schematic view, but in 3D it could be represented by a AA battery, a AAA battery, a PP3 battery, and so on. Change a part's Type in its Properties pane.
