To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?

F6 → Zoom
F7 → Rotate

set UGII_FKEY_DYNAMICS=1
Then you have the old I-deas F key functions.
We like it since we are old I-deas users and yes we do have a spaceball but the ability to snap a view square to the WCS makes our life easier when working on parts that are out in space and not at global zero.

Hold down the middle mouse button (MB2) to rotate.
Hold the Left mouse mutton and the Middle Mouse Buttons to Zoom.
Hold the Middle and Right Mouse buttons to Pan.
Yes a spaceball is far superior but this works too.

( And Shift+F8 = snap to sketch plane)

Have you ever tried using the 'F8' key? Just get close to whatever WCS orientation that you wish, hit the 'F8' key and the display will snap to the closest plane of the WCS. Also, if you select a Planar Face of your model or a Datum Plane, and then hit the 'F8' key, the display will automatically snap so as to be normal to the selected Face/Plane.

Now if you have a Spaceball, this is pretty much a non-issue once you have a known view orientation to start rotating the display from, in this case simply rotating around 90° to see the Datum Plane 'on-edge'.
Or better yet (and this does NOT require a Spaceball) while creating your Datum Plane, hit the 'F8' key and then place your cursor NEAR the left or right edge of the NX display window, and then, while holding down MB2 (Middle Mouse Button), drag the mouse up or down and you will be rotating the display about the horizontal axis of the window which will also be exactly at right-angles to the normal axis of the plane. Note that you should easily be able to rotate the display the 90° needed to see the Datum Plane 'edge-on', and it doesn't make any difference if once you start to move the mouse that it's NOT moving in a perfect up or down direction since by you placing the cursor NEAR one of the vertical sides of the display window BEFORE you started to hold down MB2, that this indicated to the system that you wanted to LOCK the rotation angle about the horizontal axis of the window.

for me is the top to navigate into the model
and it works fine as well as the spacepilot
I use 3d connection since ug18

Is there a function key that snaps to the nearest WCS plane orientation? WCS orientation is 1000 times more important to most people than absolute XYZ orientation.

...and later Spaceballs on all devices which supported 3D graphic drivers...
...and now with the 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator...
...selling for around $88 on Amazon.com, almost anyone or any organization can now afford to use them as well.
