Helo. Some questions regarding the gyroscope and view manipulation. I started using this tool when making guide curves for the lofts -- http://www.alibre.com/2012/easy.asp#gyro -- I actually need to rotate the camera around an axis every here and there. Because when, for instance, you look at a circle from the side it appears to be one line. And in 3d sketch mode when you click on the circle' geometry in side view it sometimes picks the geometry furthest away from the screen and not the closest as needed. I know the function werent designed for this purpose but it helps a lot to place guide curves in a straight line between closed profiles! One simple question, how do you choose a different axis to rotate around? And Im curious to know if there is another way to move the camera angle around an axis parameticaly? (apart from creating a plane and using "orient to sketch plane"). When I use this I click on the gyro and immediately press esc 1 time to make it stop. Then continue to place the intersection points, avoiding to place them on the wrong side of the profile. If there was a way to rotate the camera angle around an axis parametrically (using the required/desired angle) it would simplify lofting and open new drawing styles.

Good day
