Hello All,
Is it possible to reassign any of the 'F' keys? For most tasks I am able to customise the keyboard to suit my needs. However, I would like to reassign the 'Free Rotation' command from F4 control, or if possible to a mouse command, but I do not see F4 listed in the list of assigned keys. My rationale for this is to try to keep the pan, rotate and zoom commands similar to those of SolidWorks. I am a long time SW user now working with Inventor at my day job and using SW in the evening and it would be nice to set up shortcuts as similar as possible.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I would get a 3DConnexion device.

Not sure..I don't see it in the list either.

But about the 3dConnexion device
I second that and third that because its so good..
I have a Space Navigator and feel stupid that I've never used one before I did.. Nothing like it. The $99 bucks is quickly paid for.

Space Nav in left hand,mouse in right..
 
I'll third and fourth that notion. I have a SpaceExplorer from 3DConnexion. It pays for itself when you are constraining your first assembly. Plus the ability to program the buttons is priceless.

I would seriously look into getting one.
