rotate part

How can  rotate some of the gentle rotation angles around a certain axis using a simple method?
I need to make pictures of my product at intervals of about 3 degrees between each other (at 360 degrees).
Is it possible to control the pitch when pressing the arrow keys on the keyboard?
Currently the software rotates roughly every time I press the arrow keys.
Thanks !

    Hi Baruch, there are a couple of ways to do this. You can use the view cube in the top right corner to rotate and choose specific positions; however, you cannot get exact angles by doing this.

    A second, more precise method would be to go to an assembly, add a mate connector to the origin, and create a revolute mate between your part/ parts and the origin. You can define the exact angle of rotation about either the X,Y or Z axes.
