My only main grip with AC3D 5.0 (skipped 4.0) is the default controls of the 3D view window just became a pain to use. I miss the left mouse button drag to rotate the camera in the 3D view window.
I know the current method is more consistent with the other windows, but I'd rather have the old style AC3D 3D view with a toggleable select mode as opposed to the current toggleable rotate. I do more rotates than selects. Perhaps just using the alt key to select in 3D view would be a much better way to go. As an old school AC3D user, it is exceptionally hard to get used to the new 3D view controls and there isn't a way to change the behavior via settings. Perhaps make the old/new methods toggleable via settings? That would be my best guess to keep the old users and new users from having to relearn how to use AC3D's 3D view. |

I believe you get this if you hold down "ALT"

I understand the problem. It does take some getting used to, but I promise - it's worth it in the end.
![]() You may like to try setting Navselect (on the view's 3D menu) this will do a rotate if you drag outside a selection. As Jeff said, you hold down alt then use the mouse to roate/control the view as you did before. |

Honestly, I couldn't tell people how to use AC3D as I just sit down and use it naturally. Hence why I can't really get into many other 3D programs lol. I am just so used to draging in the view to rotate that it disrupts my work to have to stop and actually think about how I have to use AC3D. I don't know, I guess it is just such a habit. So you are saying it is like a metrics thing - once I start using it it will be great?
