Rotating about click point NX7.5

Rotating about click point NX7.5

(OP)
Hey guys, I'm new here and hope you can help!

I'm new to NX, but have been using ProE for a few years. I'm running into more of annoyance than a problem and hope you can help.

In ProE you can rotate/orbit/manipulate the model by where you click point is, rather than the centroid or coordinate system center. I know that in NX if I click the middle button, hold for "3" seconds, I can then rotate about where I've clicked. While yes this works, I would rather it be the default. Where if I were to middle click and rotate it would automatically go about where I clicked, not needing to hold for 3 seconds.

Is there any way I can switch to this as the default mode of manipulation?

You can set the delay for this in customer defaults ; Gateway - Visualization - View /Screen tab --> there you will find Rotation Point Delay. Try reduce it to 0.

Best regards,

MickyV007 you are the man! That's exactly what I was looking for! I just don't understand why anyone would want this to be the other way. Kapil it's 7.5, but thanks for the effort anyway!

On my SpaceBall I am able to assign a command to one of my buttons to change the view rotation point, if that is what I want.
