Currently, I have:
System Options > View > View Rotation, Arrow keys
set to 15 deg.
Say I want to tilt a view back about the X axis by 7.5 degrees but do not want to change the above setting. How would I "dial in" that exact 7.5 degrees?
For clarity, I am talking about a view, not mating.
Thanks.
How do I enter a specific view rotation?

In case you need it, i had created a macro that rotate the view based on specific angle at here:Zhen-Wei Tee wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 8:42 pm to roll a set amount of degree i think you will need to rely on api
(this is actually on my bucket list for some time now)
basically my 2cents is the macro will change your view rotate increment based on your input, then rotate the view using the increment, then revert the increment

If you ALT Drag the middle mouse button
you can ROLL the view but I do not know how to roll it a set amount of degrees

Far too many items in the world are designed, constructed and foisted upon us with no understanding-or even care-for how we will use them.

Create a plane at that angle, then select the plane and set your view normal to.

and then they can make a new view and jump back to it anytime they likeDanPihlaja wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 1:38 pm Create a plane at that angle, then select the plane and set your view normal to.
Re: How do I enter a specific view rotation?
Are you talking about a drawing view? If so just insert a regular view and then use the rotate command
If your talking a model view use the normal to (either clik on a part face or make a plane like Dan said)
