After export to DWG file from original *STEP file in Inventor 2015 3d model(that was made in Solidworks 2014) when open in AutoCAD 2015, the model rotates around axis X and Z only, so i can't just turn my model to the left and right without 3D rotation function .Please could you answer, how to overcome this problem?

I'm assuming you are trying to use the 3drotate command? Maybe the Rotate Gizmo was set so you couldn't rotate the direction you wanted to. Make sure you are in the 3D Worksapce so that your 3D tools are available. The Home Tab in the ribbon will give you access to 3Drotate and the Rotate Gizmo. This gizmo will lock your rotatations to specific axis or up to two axis depending on you set it.

 

If you were using the 2D rotate tool that will only allow you to rotate in 2D movements.

Helllo, my steps were= first i created 3d model in Soliworks 2014, saved it in *step format , later opened it in Inventor 2015 , there i exported it to *dwg to open in AutoCAD 2015. It opens in AutoCAD properly , but it's still locked in one dimension when you try to rotate it with shift+mouse wheel button.
the *DWG file is

Hello Brian!
No, the point is that when i try to turn the model to the left or right (to rotate around vertical axis) it just locks and doesn't rotate around others axis.
 The model has *DWG extension.Thank you in advance.
With respect , Sergey

I can't find any flaw in this drawing, either rotate or 3drotate in any axis.

Or your question is rotate different axes at a time, autocad can only rotate 1 at a time.

What do you mean by you don't use a command? Are you actually trying to rotate your view of the objects, and if so, what are you clicking on?
AutoCAD requires you to start a command, either typing or clicking on a screen command-launcher. It does nothing if you just open a file and wiggle your mouse around.

My steps are: first, i open my model in ACAD 2015 , i want to turn it around in direction i want , holding shift and clicking mouse wheel. For sure , i know that one can rotate model with special commands like 3DRotate , Gizmo, but still it doesn't make that model demonstrative at all. It's very important to me to make the drawing later but first i need just to turn my model to the left as a minimum to make a Copy-projection in 2d.
i attach the file in *DWG format , so please look .Thank you once again for help.
With Respect , Sergey

I opened your file and had no issue rotating as you described with SHIFT+Scroll Wheel.

The problem is i can't turn it to the left or right. It just starts to do a barrel roll or something. Position Cube in right corner shows wrong views.

Yes,there is absolutely no difference, it still rotates around Z, when i try to turn it to the left for example.

Exactly which commands are you using. Can you go thorugh it step by step? It seems we might not be understanding each other.
