Part rotation
Any plans to improve part view rotation? Currently it has to orbit and cannot freely rotate in place what it does is orbit and makes large loops around the center of the part. Its making FC mediocre.

Try a different mouse model to find one you like better.

How about "How do I change the way part view rotation works?"

Re: Part rotation
If you zoom fit or even change the pivot center of rotation you shouldn't have any issue or lack in feature....the_document wrote: ↑Sat Mar 24, 2018 11:31 pm Any plans to improve part view rotation?

This seems to me that really you miss to read some documentation...
Re: Part rotation
It's not always easy to work with some new users. But i guess life isn't perfect.
Anyway i agree with @GeneFC and @easyw-fc. Your question and response was mediocre at best. But luckily FreeCAD isn't in the mentioned area. If you are using FreeCAD 0.17 hover over the navigation indicator in the status bar. Look for what it says you have to do to set the rotation focus.
And Voila!

Using a FC git revision from here https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_ ... 3/releases appimage I only found trackball and turntable both of which don't revolve object by their center and orbit when revolving.triplus wrote: ↑Sun Mar 25, 2018 6:41 pm It's not always easy to work with some new users.

Re: Part rotation
so you are saying 'Its making FC mediocre.' and you are using a very 'experimental' build, without even noticing that ....the_document wrote: ↑Mon Mar 26, 2018 9:06 pm Using a FC git revision from here https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_ ... 3/releases appimage I only found trackball and turntable both of which don't revolve object by their center and orbit when revolving.
This is worst than missing to read to docs
Moreover from your image I see you can change the Mouse Style from Blender to i.e. Gesture and test the rotation with Middle Mouse Button or key 'H'

Re: Part rotation
FC crashes when using gesture rotation + focus (holding H key) - part still doesn't rotate about its center after panning the part around.easyw-fc wrote: ↑Mon Mar 26, 2018 9:45 pmso you are saying 'Its making FC mediocre.' and you are using a very 'experimental' build, without even noticing that ....the_document wrote: ↑Mon Mar 26, 2018 9:06 pm Using a FC git revision from here https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_ ... 3/releases appimage I only found trackball and turntable both of which don't revolve object by their center and orbit when revolving.
