Tip: Cursor centric rotation with 3D Connexion controllers

The cursor centric rotation function is activated and controlled by dragging the cursor with left and right mouse buttons depressed. The geometry under the cursor is selected as the centre of rotation. Unfortunately, there is no way to access this function directly to use it with 3D Connexion (et al) controllers. However, once it has been initiated using the L&RMB drag, the new centre of rotation is also active for 3D controllers, for as long as the mouse buttons are held depressed.

So:

- Position the cursor over the geometry that you want to act as the centre of rotation.

- Press and hold down L&RMBs and make a small drag movement to initiate the command.

- Rotate and zoom with the 3D controller.

- Release L&RMBs
