Hi, i'm learning to use creo direct for work and i come from solidworks.

On solidworks (and every 3D program) i use a lot the rapid views (front, side, rear, top etc...) by using this selection wheel that appears with a right mouse button click:

Can i add something similar to creo direct? with a plugin maybe?

Thanks.

Hello,

such a function does not exist following my knowledge.

But you can use the "Command Mini toolbar" inplace.

That can you adjust in ->file ->options, see pictures.

There you can add every command that you want.

Hello Mattia Linetti

Thanks both guys.

I'm using a 3d connexion mouse too (space mouse wireless) but i prefer to use the 2 buttons on the mouse for blocking rotation axis.

The Command mini tollbar it's the best way to do it and it's similar to the solidworks wheel, i'm going to add the views and use it.
