3D Axis
The 3D AXIS command sets the 3D Select axis; the axis used for panning and rotating selected elements in 3D mode.
Use this command to define the X, Y, or Z axis as the 3D Select axis—or to turn off the 3D Select axis. Alternatively, you can define a free axis as the 3D Select axis. The free axis can intersect the origin and a point or any two points.
| A free axis is in addition to the X, Y, and Z coordinate system axes. |

x y z
(optional; float) Sets the 3D Select axis to a free axis that intersects the origin and the point (x, y, z). (Separate coordinate values with a space character.)
x y z x1 y1 z1
(optional; float) Sets the 3D Select axis to a free axis that intersects the points (x, y, z) and (x1, y1, z1). (Separate coordinate values with a space character.)
OFF
(optional) Removes the 3D Select axis if it exists.
X | Y | Z
(optional) Sets the 3D Select axis to the X, Y, or Z axis. Specifying X or Z sets both the X and Z axes as 3D Select axes.
