We've got a drawing for you, it's called 3D gizmos.DWG and you can download it from the library to follow along with the video. Now you'll notice when you open up this particular DWG file in the model tab you'll see that we've got a 3D solid here, this one and we've also got a little 3D solid sitting on top, this one. Now you'll notice when I click on them it is just selecting each of the 3D solids like so. Now, normally when you're working in AutoCAD in the 3D modeling workspace you'll get this situation here. So if I switch a gizmo on here, move gizmo and I click there, can you see? You get this weird gizmo thing kicking in.
