As discussed at the beginning of the section, during the modeling process, you might need to draw a 2D shape (that will be extruded or swept, for example) on a generally inclined XY plane. Any transformation can be broken down to rotation and translation motions, so in this section and the next one, we will discuss how to rotate and translate the UCS.
You can rotate the UCS around any of the three main axes by using the UCS rotation buttons found in the Coordinates panel. The following figure shows the location of the buttons:

To rotate the UCS, simply click on the button with the desired ...
