"fly mode"

"fly mode"

"fly mode"

(OP)
I don't really know how else to describe this, but is there a way to "fly" in your part/assembly rather then rotating&zooming it?

RE: "fly mode"

You could use the See Thru function but this will not "fly" trough the assembly it will only allow you to see all components/parts hidden by other objects.
Or if you push CTRL+H it will open up the section view menu, with a lot of options to play with.

thanks JCB, that's what I was looking for.

Micky, see thru is fine if the assemblies aren't too big. Section view was what I used atm. I was looking for something better.

RE: "fly mode"

And now, in navigation mode, the fun starts trying to master the controls :)
Ctrl+Shift+MB1 (drag upwards ="increase perspective") - You need perspective to be able to fly past objects.
MB1 (slow) left/ right = turn left/right
  MB1 up/down = fly in/out
Shift+MB1 = up/down = Fly-turn up/down
  Shift+MB1 = right/left = roll (rotate about screen z)
Ctrl+MB1 up/down/right/left = ("pan") fly sideways

Under View Navigate Options you can set the sensitivity, the flight might be too high speed per default.

Yeah, I've tried it and it's not very intuitive. I guess it needs some practice to be able to work with it properly.
