Rotating graphics using arrow and page up/down keys

Question

OK, from way back, when in graphics windows (3D Layout, primarily, but also Shaded) one could rotate things using the arrow and Page up/down keys, and it moved in … 5 degree increments? Somewhere along the line, this was CHANGED to basically random values, holding down the arrow key just rotated things until you let up.

ARRRRGGGGHHHHH.

Sorry, this is a PITA. Any chance we can get back to the previous behavior? I’ve asked about this before …

I REALLY miss this behavior, used it ALL THE TIME to get various ‘views’ in my graphics windows. I don’t have a damn 3D mouse or anything, maybe I’m just an old dog who won’t learn new tricks.

Try enabling “Classic View” in the Project Preferences:

Then, for example, in the Classic tab for the 3D Layout you can use the arrow keys and the pg up/down keys to rotate the view in 10-degree increments, just like pre-OpticStudio days…

Whaaaaaaaaaaaa …? I hadn’t noticed that !!! I do use Classic views. Hmmmm. OK I’ll try it tomorrow. Thanks!!!
