Lost Inventor Feature????

Anonymous
Not applicable

I was just wondering, what ever happened to the continuous orbit feature!? I don't exactly remember the key sequence. Though, I remember years ago, like 5.3, orbiting the part, letting go of my scroll wheel and watching that baby rotate on my screen like a screen saver, haha. Has this visually intriguing feature been lost to program optimization, or have I just forgotten the key sequence? Thanks in advance!!!

Click Free Orbit and drag part while holding Shift key (no change).

Let go.  Part will continuously rotate based on your drag speed.

Sorry, I'm just getting used to 12'. Where is the free orbit option?- Ok, I found it on the sidebar, constrained or free. I also found it in the options, free is selected. No dice... Let go of orbit, while still holding shift, am I correct? Then when I let go of shift it should continue to spin? Still no dice, hmmm... Thanks again...

 

Got it, free orbit as the function itself, not the scroll button method...  Thank You!!!!
