Hello Folks,
When I view rotate my assembly it always defaults to some faraway local point. Can someone tell me how to specify a rotation about an existing feature in my Assembly?

Thanks!

Double-click on an edge or temporary axis with the middle-wheel button, and hold it down on the 2nd click. This will make it rotate on that axis.

Click on an edge, vertex or temporary axes with the middle button (wheel). Then hold down the middle button and the model will rotate around the selected element. Click outside the element to reset the centre of rotation.
