How to freeze the orbit center

[hugues1965]

Hello,

I work with my 3D mouse in left hand and regular mouse in right hand.

I would like the orbit center to stay where I place it. But for some reasons, as I move the part and perform different actions, the orbit center often moves away from that location. I then have to interrupt my workflow and replace the orbit center. It's really quite annoying, it happens often, every few minutes or so.

Is there a way to freeze that orbit center, whatever actions I perform ?

Hi @hugues1965 

Could you try by grounding the component?

Hey Rajesh,

I thought for a minute that you nailed it, but no, it does not stay, even if I set the orbit center on a grounded object.

But thanks,

🤔🤔🤔 okay

Can you share the file ?

I will take a look onec.

Actually I have the problem for all my projects,

so I created a simple project with a red and green block,

To reproduce:

- I right click in the design windows and select "Set Orbit Center"

- I then select one of the corner of the red block

- Then for example I move the green block a bit

- Right away after the move is done, the orbit center moves to in between the 2 blocks.

- Same happens if I simply click on the little house icon top right.

I use a 3D mouse from 3DConnexion, don't know if it is related to that.

Hi @hugues1965 

The orbit was changing every time as per the view, for every zoom in and zoom out view. it will not be fixed. It was automatically placed as per the view.

exactly, and that's the behavior i don't like. we should have an option to freeze the orbit center.

I will open a new feature request I guess.

thanks for your input.

The axial length was based on the view. Let's wait for the new roadmap update by making an considering this point this time 🙂. Let's make an idea for fusion team for this.
