Adjusting The View Cube Distance

[vertical horizons]

Whenever you click on one of the corner, edges or faces of the View Cube, your image changes accordingly. If I am zoomed in real close, then click on the VC, the image pans out. However, if I highlight an object before I click on the VC, my image changes to the proper view, but stays focused on the highlighted item.

 

Is there a way to control (other than highlighting an object) how much the distance changes when you click on the View Cube?

I dont think so. Its zooming the window(or selection as you found). You can use the "steering wheel" and manually rotate about a point you select. I just hold down the F4 key and rotate my model.

I figured out how to make the distance stay the same.

 

Go to TOOLS > APPLICATION OPTIONS > DISPLAY.

 

On this page, towards the bottom right, select "ViewCube ..."

 

UNcheck "Fit-to-View on view change".

 

Now, every time you click on the view cube, the distance remains the same.
