bjenk8100 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hello, My biggest prob with 3D in autocad is orbiting. I either use shift and middle mouse alone or navbar orbit tool and then shift and middle mouse. Is this it? It is really not too friendly as of now.

tzframpton Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 How is it not too friendly for you? Shift+Middle Mouse Button is it, but this is similar to other CAD applications. How are you expecting it to function? Maybe we can help adjust some process for you. -TZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjenk8100 Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 I use solidworks. inventor and revit and i have no problem. Autocad seems to just not wanna orbit as efficiently. I move ucs to a corner that kind of helps. While I am at it. Cant figure out a way to hit a face or surface of an object and be right on its plane. Not sure if its possible here. The whole plane thing is a mess and unorganized it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjenk8100 Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 lol, today orbit seems to work better. I started 3d template and opened file from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 You would probably enjoy seeing this by Lynn Allen, regarding Orbit in Autocad. https://books.google.co.id/books?id=b14uejP4Gm8C&pg=PA221&lpg=PA221&dq=Autocad+center+orbit&source=bl&ots=wqoLUxFgAX&sig=NOfQdBXeNOfiEWD5jVS28QiFu54&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Autocad%20center%20orbit&f=false Have you tried 3DORBITCTR ?
