Rotate about point - Solidworks

Where did the 3dconnection toolbar go to in Solidworks? Used to be able to click on any point in a part and set it to rotate about that point. Can't seem to do that anymore?

Any suggestions?

Hey T_Warris,

Open 3Dconnexion driver => Advanced settings => Other options => Move Selected Objects.

I believe this is what you are looking for.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. Not quite what I am looking for. On SolidWorks there used to be a 3dconnection toolbar where you could select a point on any object and it would pivot around that point. Without it, it's quite cumbersome to move around.

Hi T_Warris,

as the toolbar was removed by design you can now find this function available in the button mapping:
