Using the CoPilots
An axis is defined by a point and a direction. When the Axis 3D CoPilot is active, the cursor changes shape.
Follow the directions in the Prompt Bar to use the Axis 3D CoPilot.
1. Hover the cursor over an edge (straight or circular) or a face (planar or axial).
Immediate feedback for the axis that is most likely to be used is provided. For example, if the mouse is on a circular edge or a cylindrical face, the rotation axis of this element is displayed.
Use the Tab key to reverse the axis direction and to switch to an edge tangent or face normal direction at the current cursor position.

2. Click to accept this axis.
This behavior is similar to the Direction 3D CoPilot.
