Stuck in Rotation Tool

bradolcott — Fri, 02 Feb 2024 20:13:48 GMT

Just wondering if this is bug.

I am new to Fusion 360, keep in mind. I am using the Rotation tool in the top right corner and now I can't get out of it meaning, hitting "ESC" or "Return" or other actions does not release it. I am perpetually spinning the workspace. Is this a bug? If not, any ideas on how to escape?

Many thanks!!

I believe it's a bug. I saved, quit and relaunched and it stopped. However, it did come back so not sure if I am doing something to cause it or not. Is there a "feature" where one can "lock" into the rotation tool?

The tool, in the upper right corner of the design environment, is call the View Cube and NO there is no way to lock the rotation of it. The Free Orbit or Constrained Orbit tool are constant, once activated but both command are stopped using the Escape Key in Windows. This may have something to do with your mouse, do you have access to another to try?

By the way, I want to bring something to your attention. When responding to a post from someone, do not use the "Post Reply" icon as this will address your post to yourself. Instead use the "Reply" icon on the post you are responding to address your post to that person. Look back at the messages in this post and you will see what I mean.

This is a long standing bug that has been reported here many many many times in the past several years.

Happens to me a couple of times a year.

Happened to me just a few days ago.

I have never been able to reproduce the behavior through a series of steps.
