Rotate model during feature playback

Rotate model during feature playback

Rotate model during feature playback

(OP)
NX 5.0.4.  As I step through feature playback, I am not able to rotate/zoom/pan the model to look at the features as there are being regenerated.   Other than a space ball or space pilot, is there any way to accomplish this?

RE: Rotate model during feature playback

In NX 5 about the best that you can do is select the 'Review the model' button (the one with the '?' on it) and while in this mode you can use normal mouse dynamics and/or MB3 options to manipulate the display and when done, just select OK and you can continue the 'Playback'.

Now in NX 6 we've added a totally new set of controls (all on their own toolbar) to perform model playback (we will no longer depend on the 'Edit During Update' function to provide a scheme for playback).  And even during completely automatic play-back, the user will be able to manipulate the display using EITHER a Spaceball or mouse dynamics while the actual model playback is taking place.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
