When rotating, make wherever the cursor is located be the center point of rotation. From what I know, I can select the rotation center by pressing F4, then clicking on an entity, and that will be the rotation point from that point forward.
Just make it so wherever the cursor is at becomes the rotation point. For reference, go drive a seat of Pro/E (now called Creo). It is so easy to rotate with.
Here's why this is a big deal: Open a large assembly, then zoom way, way in to look at something. Now try to rotate - oops! You've just rotated away from what you were looking at. Now repeat the process; zoom way in, okay now remember to go F4 -> click on something -> okay, I'm good to go now. Now, pan over a little bit, forget to reset the rotation center, go ahead and rotate and OOPS! Whatever you're zoomed in looking at has rotated off your screen. Every time to move, you have to reset your rotation point manually. This is frustrating and wasteful.
See the issue? If it would just rotate about the cursor, then you don't have to go through a thousand extra clicks, constantly resetting the rotation center; it would just work, without thought and having to plan ahead, etc. You could focus on designing your product, instead of driving your CAD program.
