and while I've been having the normal snags getting used to the way it works, I've gotten to the point, in a few days, where it almost looks like I know what I'm doing. The problem I'm having, however, is in resetting the center of rotation once I've panned around a bit, or if I just want to rotate about a different point. I'm using the device in WinXP with Inventor R10.Does anyone know how to do this? Is there a trick or workaround I haven't found yet? Right now I hit the F4 key on my keyboard and click the new rotation center with my mouse. I thought I could program F4 to the Space Explorer, but the programmed button doesn't really work like the F4 key in Inventor in that I have to hit the button again to make the 3D Rotation symbol go away. In Inventor, the symbol is only active as long as you hold down F4. Also, I only has 15 buttons and, while I've changed one already, I'd like to try to work with the preprogrammed Inventor commands that the SpaceExplorer comes with.
I read an old post on the Autodesk Inventor Discussion groups that referred to a plug-in that re-centers your rotation with a left click of your mouse, albeit for the SpaceTraveler. The link they gave was

Thanks,
Tony
