Dynamic Rotation with Touchpad

Good day all,

Is it possible to dynamically rotate a model using a laptop touchpad ?

I have tried sliding on the touchpad while holding down the typical keys like ALT or SHIFT or CTRL, but none seem to do the job. I have also tried while holding down the left and right touchpad buttons, but no luck there either.
I have looked through the SETTINGS menu, but there are no mouse/touchpad user features available.

You can use the up, down, left and righr arrow keys.

Dear Matej,

Thank you for pointing this out. It serves the purpose. It’s probably obvious to many :slight_smile:

As laptops get more and more powerful, I suspect many more engineers will use them for FEA; especially when traveling.
Do you think that it will be possible to include dynamic rotation for a laptop touchpad sometime in a future release ?

I had no plans to support it till now. But I will think about it and try to make it work somehow. Usually, I use the mouse even when there is not a lot of room but I see a lot of students working with CAD and FEM software on laptops without a mouse.
