When I select the 3D Rotate command I am presented with the 2D rotate parameters when I am expecting the 3D rotate parameters. What could I be doing wrong?

I think that I found the solution? I need to be in a view other than Plan view to see the 3D rotate parameters ie Elevation, Isometric or Parallel view

This is controlled by the View Dependant Editing checkboxes in the Preferences dialog.

If 3D is checked, you must be in a non-plan projection to enter a 3D editing menu.

Thanks for that Dave

I must say that I know how this works and I guess it needs to work this way, but I don't think it has always worked this way. I have been working on a very complex model and I keep having to go in and turn these off an on for various reasons while I work through the model. And it definitely gets annoying.

I don't have a recommendation for a fix, I am just venting.

If this is something that you need to turn on & off constantly, then perhaps there is a function or extended character code or some other method that could be automated and programmed into a toolbar button?

Possibly but I don't use it that much generally but I have been using it a lot the last couple of weeks. I have been very busy and haven't had time to look into it.
