Rotate about entity mode , but no entity selected....
Rotate about entity mode , but no entity selected....
(OP)
Hi
When working with assemblies in SW 2011 my curser goes into "rotate about entity mode" whenever it is over the model and the MMB is clicked (with no entity selected). Only when the MMB is clicked and the cursor is not over the model SW lets me free rotate.
Might be only an odd setting I overlooked, but it's very irritating when the model rotates about the entities the curser is currently over.
Can anybody help?

If the model is completely in view, it will rotate about the model center. If you zoom in so that the model is no longer completely in view it will rotate wherever your mouse cursor happens to be over.
Do you remember it ever being different?

Kevin, yes it should rotate wherever the cursor is, but in free rotate and not in "rotate about entity mode".
Pete, tried your suggestion as well, no luck.
