How to rotate model using arrow keys

I'd like to rotate models using arrow keys, preferably in 10 or 15 degree incraments. Is this possible?

Hi Thibaud,

 

Sorry for the repeated reply! Somehow it was posted twice but I don't have the ability to delete it unfortunately.

Many thanks!

The nice thing about rotating views with arrow keys is that it's incremental, and restricted to a particular axis of rotation. For me, a big part of the development process is SCREEN shots! Never mind drawing views.... I'm part way through a design and I want to ask 5 people their opinion, and 2 are in another state. I can precisely rotate a view off of head-on to give just the right perspective on something that might be at a particular angle.  It's a maneuver no 3D mouse can accomplish.

I'm not sure how to do this with arrow keys, but I'm able to do this by going to the view menu > Navigate Panel > Orbit Dropdown > and select Rotate at Angle. This allows you to rotate around 3 axis' and you can input any increment angle you like. This method works very well for me when setting up rendering views, as well as drawing views. Hope this helps someone.

Late reply, but it's been suggested back in 2014. Time to start voting 😄
