rotating a 3D drawing

Post by jgsport »

I was using a wired mouse and I was able to click and hold on the drawing space and was able to rotate the drawing on all 3 axis any which way I pleased. I switched to a wireless mouse and now I can't do that anymore. Any ideas on why and is there a keyboard shortcut that does the same thing??

Thanks!

Jeremy

Look at what navigation mode you are using, CAD style is the default. Then go read the wiki for an explanation of what button does what. In standard CAD style one option is to hold the keyboard ctrl key and then use left mouse key but there are others.
