How can I continuously spin a model?

How can I continuously spin a model?

(OP)
I was wondering if there is a way to continuously spin a model/assembly, for presentation purposes?  SW2005.

Thanks.

Save the assemly/model as an E-Drawings.  Once in E-Drawings you can press continous play and it will show all ortho views

You can show a part rotating using only SW if you want.  You can enable the Simulation toolbar and there you can apply a Rotary motor.  After applying the motor you can record and play back the motion.  You can apply both a rotary and a linear at the same time if you need to show motion while rotating.

You can also just use the arrow keys to rotate the model, then  record a macro of this function.

I remember a utility that would continuously rotate a model about a pre-selected X, Y or Z that was available a long time ago from a SolidWorks VAR called GoEngineer. (GoEngineer.com)
