Rotation of 3D model in creo parametric

[RohitBubanale]

During the multiple customer visit sometimes we are unable to rotate 3D model in creo parametric without mouse/ with defective central click/in absence of mouse  , 

I suggest there use to be shortcut keys such as ' shift+ +' / 'shift + -'/'shift + *' /'shift + /' to rotate the 3D model,

Consequences of mouse failure are usual & Creo shows lackness at this critic condition.

please suggest other easy ways to Rotate 3D model without Central mouse click....

Attached are 4 mapkey sequences for your config.pro.  I created these years ago to easily manipulate views to pre-assign view names for drawings.  As long as your keyboard is functional (even if your mouse is not) F3 rotates the model around the y axis clockwise - F4 counterclockwise (with the values in the mapkey... 2 degrees each time - but that can be changed to your liking).  F5 tilts the model toward you and F6 away.  Holding down the assigned mapkey will continue the re-orientation, but keyboard buffering may take it further than you expect.  Of course, you can also change the mapkeys to assign any key-hits you desire.  Hope these help - for what it's worth - respectfully.

Yes, you are right @Aaron_Daniel  but at least we should have dedicated inbuilt functionality or some live dragger handle to select on the screen to rotate the model.
