 From here on, it is possible to continue adding display elements to this tab in the remaining space, by creating subsections similar to the ''map-z-frame'' section created earlier. See more information on the possible screen elements in the [[mycnc:mycnc_screen_configuration|MyCNC Screen Configuration]] manual.
+====Example 4: Rotating the visualization and orientation changes within myCNC====
+The orientation changes for your visualization and workflow (by rotating the visualization 90/180/270 degrees, etc) are done in three major ways:
+  * The 2D screen visualization (for example, on plasma/gas profiles)
+  * For your hotkeys (matching the arrow keys to the new visualization that you have rotated by +-90/180/270 degrees), and
+  * Adjusting the movement within the Part Rotation widget.
+Going through these step by step:
+) Head into //Settings -> Config -> Screen//, and then locate and enable the **2D visualization: Rotate** option. 2D visualization: Rotate rotates the file visualization 90 degrees off its original layout, with linear axes that can be displayed in mm or inches. This is done for visualization purposes only, and does not impact the actual measurements of the original file (i.e. you will still move in the positive x-direction in the original G-code file when pressing the X+ button from the main screen's jog tab, etc).

+) Hotkeys settings can be found in //Settings -> Config -> Panel/Pendant -> Hotkeys// - in this window you can reassign the actions that are bound to your keyboard's arrow keys to match your desired orientation (for example, switching the default Arrow Up from Y+ to Y-, etc):
+{{:mycnc-screen:screen-orientation-005-hotkeys-rotation.png}}
+) Rotation widget editing is done through the .xml file (x-rotate.xml) which can be found in your profile's main folder (for example, on Ubuntu MATE it will be in //~/.config/myCNC/profiles/X1366P// for the default plasma cutting profile).
+Scroll down to the following section:
+<code><gitem where="rotateborder"
+ position="5;5"
+ width="1346" height="703"
+ basewidth="1346" baseheight="703" table-rotation="0"
+ type="rotation2view" name="rotation2view" bgColor="##b-main" ></gitem></code>
+and change the **table-rotation** value. By default it is set to 0, changing it to -90, for example, will rotate the motion setup for the jog buttons in the Rotation tab by -90 degrees:
