Hi

In the Direct Edit menu you have the Locate button at your disposal. After clicking this button you can place the center of rotation at a point on the model indicated in the graphics window.

Where is the Direct Edit menu? Is it the right-click menu? I'm using Inventor 2025 if that helps. I'm trying to make a door hinge rotate, I assume the center of rotation would be the hinge pin. I'm self taught and new to this so I apologize if this is a beginner question! Thanks for any help you can provide, it is greatly appreciated!
