How can one rotate a 3d iso object about an axis?

Greetings:

I have a 3D object and would like to rotate x° about the x axis.  Since Rotate3d is not available in AutoCAD LT, is there a work around to achieve this?

 

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Your "block" is a flat 2D drawing drawn in isometric (that's never been 3D): EXPLODE it, select each line and look at the Z setting for each end. Same with the text. Sorry.

You may read that thread :

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-lt-forum/how-to-change-z-axis-into-x-or-y-axis-move-items-fro...

I would suggest to copy (with a base point i.e. CTRL+SHIFT+C) from the actual UCS

And then enter UCS then X then the desired angle...

You may also enter UCS again to replace it with one clic.

And finally : CTRL+V 😉

Conclusion : no command to rotate in 3D, just learn how to rotate the UCS to copy and paste !
