Product: Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: Several enhancements to view manipulation, including the ability to select any location on the model (previously limited to nodes and vertices) as the center of rotation, revised default behavior for view rotation, and quick access to options for setting the center of rotation, improve the usability of Abaqus/CAE.
