Default xl2007 3D-Rotation - Grabbing and Turning

Hi,

I used to be able to "grab" a 3d surface graph in xl 2003 and rotate it with
no problem, the bosses loved it.

I can't seem to do this in xl2007 has the "Grab" feature been discontinued?
I sincerely hope not as it was very useful...

Can someone tell me if it still works, and if so how do I do it? I have
tried and tried but not getting anywhere...

Many thanks in advance
regards
Sean

Doesn't work any longer in 2007. It was too complex to implement with the
new Office Art shapes.

Hi,

I can not find anywhere that allows you to use the mouse to drag the
rotation.
If you right click the chart area there is an option 3d-Rotation. This gives
you access to the format dialog with controls to rotated the chart.

Or on the Layout contextual tab there is a 3-d rotation button within the
Background group.

Cheers
Andy

Thanks Guys,

and while the answers answered the question, the situation is useless.

My bosses will more than likely regress to 2003 now and stay there...talk
about going forward and taking a step back...

Sean

You're not the only one following this track, and that's not the only reason
cited.
