rotate slower in SW2007

Notice that there is a change in how SW2007 rotates with the middle button. In SW2006, you would MMB click and release on the corner you wish to use as the center of rotation to select it. Then you would MMB click and hold again to actually rotate. Now with SW2007 you MMB click and hold and rotate all on the first click. This could be the difference that you are seeing - I'm not seeing any slowdown at all.

Also keep in mind that if you have a large file open, and you are having trouble rotating, etc. without it jerking and having to wait for it, that having the shaded view with edges is slower than without the edges turned on.

yeah, I susses the difference, and to be honest I think it's a much better way to rotate about a slected entity. But I definately get a pause before rotating - but then it is an imported file made up of lots of surfaces, so maybe that's the issue.

You know, after I wrote that, I started playing with it a bit more and I am finding that it's not a consistent action. Sometimes it works just fine - other times it just rotates about some other center. I also found that sometimes I can click and rotate about a point that is just clicked on a face, but it's not the rotate normal to an axis perpendicular to that face as you would expect, it's as if I had picked a vertex there. Hmmm, strange indeed - bears watching to figure out.
