Thanks for the input! I figured I may be SOL, LOL.
Im not even sure how to access all the system varibles...tried your 'SYSVAR' you listed, no luck...unknown command...using 2011, maybe thats why that command doesn't work? Oh well. lets bury this friggin thread, lol

From the looks of it tulip3D, what you are trying to do is not an option. One reason  (I think) could be because you cannot edit objects while in 3D Free Orbit.

If it were me, I would spend some time reviewing all of the system variables (SETVAR > ? > *) to see if maybe there is a variable for it.

In 2009, I see:

  3DCONVERSIONMODE  1
  3DDWFPREC         2
  3DSELECTIONMODE   1

Doesn't look like any of those will help, sorry.

Good Luck!!

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 ;)

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?]]> Fri, 10 Dec 2010 10:05:37 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=4924&PID=12171&title=set-freeorbit-as-default-rotation#12171 <![CDATA[Set *FREEORBIT* as default rotation? : You can use ctrl + shift + mid...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=4924&PID=12169&title=set-freeorbit-as-default-rotation#12169 Author: edwinprakoso

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.
