Rotating using Ctrl key and arrows

[Tim Martinez]

Does anyone know if you can change the degree of rotation using the keyboard? I believe the default is 5 degrees. Thank you.

Degree of rotation on?......

 

If you're looking to rotate geometry you can use transform >> rotate, then you have control over how much the part rotates.

Correction: I want to know if you can control the roation using the Alt key and the arrow keys. It is rotating about 5 degs currently. Can this be changed?

Tim,

No - sorry - that's fixed at 5 degrees. Maybe someday....

3 plus years later......can we adjust rotate angle using alt + arrow keys?

 

now at 5°......would like 3°

You can download AI Utility, which also has many other useful features! You can assign a toolbar to rotate around X, Y, or Z and call out the angle.

Yes, and I love it. You can rotate like I described above, call up the chain manager any time you want, and change the amount of zoom on the scroll wheel, to name just a few.
