Alt+RmB style orbit on iOS

Hobsie

Hi,

I was wondering if there's an equivalent to the Alt+RmB camera orbit/rotation in the iOS App version of OnShape. I've come from a Games Development background and the majority of our 3D packages seem to opt for the axis locked rotation versus OnShape's default free rotation. 99% of the time I'm rotating using Alt+RmB on my iMac so when moving to my iPad Pro i'm constantly having to make multiple gestures to correct my camera rotations that have tilted in crazy ways (I like to call this the Gimble Dance).

Also as an aside - on the desktop/browser version is there any way to invert the logic for RmB rotation and Alt+RmB? i.e. RmB would do what Alt+RmB does now and vice versa.

Hi @Hobsie

Unfortunately, we do not currently have "Constrained rotate" capability on our mobile clients.
As for your second question, you can go to your account settings from the top right corner, then go to "Preferences" and scroll down to "View Manipulation" to change the view manipulation settings.  Unfortunately, (again) all of the "Constrained rotate" key bindings are just alt + <whatever key does free rotate>.

Fortunately, this is what our improvement request system is for.  Click on improvement requests on the right, then click 'New Idea' to make a new improvement request.  Then users can vote on your request.
There is already a request for your second idea: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/25995#Comment_25995

Thanks Jake. I've gone and created an improvement request for the feature on iOS: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/7413/turntable-rotate-on-ios#latest

I believe its two finger drag.

Unfortunately 2 finger drag pans the camera - that video explains it as such. I'm after rotation about the Z/Up axis which you get in the web/desktop version by holding Alt while right clicking the mouse.
