    Posted: 07.Dec.2010 at 19:54
In ACAD 2011, how can I set *FREEORBIT* (similar to Inventor) as my default?
Currently, the default is *ORBIT*, and I hate it, I constantly change it- I'm an Inventor junkie forced to use ACAD 3D Cry

Press "2", or press Shift, or right-click and select Free orbit.

Nope, that did not do anything. Still reverts to *ORBIT*.
*2* is an unknown command.
*SHIFT* + select free orbit doesnt work either.
My right click is set to repeat last command.

You can use ctrl + shift + mid button of your mouse.
Or do you want to assign it to other button? You need to do it by modifying CUI.

I have tryed to modify the CUI But he don't accept the changes... So I don't think it is possible to modify it by the CUI.... But is it so hard just to press 2?

No no no, you guys im trying to set *freeorbit* as my DEFAULT 3D rotation tool.
No shift key, no pressing 2, nothing.
And YES, it DOES suck that bad...if your used to full function 3D platform such as Inventor or SolidWorks, instead of autocad's 3D hackjob ;)

And how you want to activate your 3d rotation tool? By pressing F4 then click your mouse?
