Is it possible to rotate in Creo 11.0 similar to Creo 10.0 by pressing the mouse wheel What is the rotation method in Creo 11.0 if this approach doesn’t work


In Creo 11.0, the ability to rotate views by using the mouse wheel may differ from Creo 10.0. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of how you can achieve rotation in Creo 11.0:

  1. Check Mouse Settings:
  2. Open the Options dialog by going to Window > Options.
  3. Navigate to Display & Visualize > Navigation.
  4. Under Mouse, ensure that the mouse settings are configured to allow for rotation using the wheel.

  5. Configure Shortcuts:

  6. In the same Navigation section, look at the Shortcut Keys tab.
  7. Assign the appropriate shortcuts to rotation commands. For example:

    • Use Alt + Scroll for rotation by pressing and holding the Alt key while scrolling with the mouse wheel.
  8. Use Alternative Methods:

  9. If the above method doesn’t work, you can use the Rotate command directly.
  10. Press Ctrl + R to activate the rotate function, then move the mouse to rotate the view.

  11. Adjust View Navigation Style:

  12. In Creo 11.0, there are different navigation styles available. Ensure you’re using the correct style for your workflow:

    • Go to Window > Settings > Display & Visualize > Navigation.
    • Select between Basic, Advanced, or Free Orbit navigation modes.
  13. Test and Verify:

  14. After configuring, test the settings by trying to rotate the view using the mouse wheel with the Alt key pressed.
  15. If it works, great! If not, double-check your settings or explore other shortcuts in the options.

By following these steps, you should be able to replicate similar rotation functionality as in Creo 10.0 within Creo 11.0.
