Hotkey to rotate view 90 degrees UG NX7.5

[nkward]

I worked in solidworks prior to UG, there's a nice function that is ctrl+(direction arrows) that rotates a view 90 degrees in whatever direction you want with the arrows.
Is there a way to do this already in UG or can I create one? If I can create one, how?

Also, I would do this after orienting the view normal to a plane(F8) or sketch plane(shift+F8).

I really don't know if you can do what you want but
Have you ever opened up a two or four view layout and worked with that?
View -> Open -> Layout

While it is true that NX does not have a built-in function like the one you described there are a couple of things that you can do which will give you something close to what you're looking for with only a couple of extra entries.

That being said, there is an explicit View Rotate function which you can open by hitting 'Ctrl+R' and once there you can select either one of the three primary axis of rotation, X-Axis, Y-Axis or Z-Axis, then simply hit the 'Apply' button and this will rotate the display exactly 90° about the selected axis. Repeated hitting of the 'Apply' button will continue to rotate the display.

Alternatively you can also simply select the X, Y or Z axis of the view 'triad' located in the lower left-corner of the screen, enter ±90° into the entry widget and hit the 'Enter' key. Again, repetitive selection of 'Enter' will continue to rotate the display about the selected axis in 90° increments.

Anyway, give it a shot and see if this will work for you.

Hi,

It's very easy to do this with a macro and Tools/customize/keyboard.

You will find your macro under My Buttons (have a look at the jpeg file)
Press Ctrl+Right Arrow to assign the buttons

I hope this help
