    Hi,

     

    Middle mouse button click will fix the rotation center. Please refer the attached image.

    You can not fix the rotating center using the mouse. Every time you middle click to rotate, this will select a new rotating center.

    What you can do if this disturbs you is:
    - use a 3D space mouse: in this case, the '2D'mouse middle click will  fix the rotation center, the 3D mouse will do the rotation
    or
    - choose under File|Preference|System a different Mouse setting. FOr example, 'Hyperworks 13.0' allows to choose the rotation center and rotate separately, like in Altair HyperMesh.

    Thanks Alessio for your solutions.

    So, if I want to separate Rotation Center and Rotation, I will use HM setting.
