Spinning

Spinning is the ability of FreeCAD to display a dynamic rotation without user interaction.

Spinning is by default enabled. To enable or disable spinning go to the Edit→Preferences menu, change to the Viewer settings and click on Use spin rotation.

To make a 3D-object spin, rotate it with the mouse and release the mouse buttons before stopping the mouse motion. The object the continues with its rotation.
