I started following a tutorial. But from the start I have a big, stupid problem. I am not able to move or orbit my piece with the mouse. It’s a .stp part, obtained with Inventor. However I am able to obtain the different points of view: the front, the side, etc. with the software icons.(excuse my anglish I am french)  
Thank you!

Some none of those shortcuts works for you ?

> View controls in PrePoMax:  
> • zoom: mouse scroll;  
> • rotate model: middle mouse button or keyboard arrows;  
> • pan (move model): Shift + middle mouse button
