I was just wondering if there was a way to change what the camara rotates around? What i mean is if there is a way to make the camara rotate around your selection rather than around the center of the world? I am askign cuz to me it is really annoying when im working around a part and i am zoomed in and have to rotate around that selection but i have to rotate zoom and pan to get there

Thanks

If you hit 'a' to aim at your selection, the camera will then rotate around it...

Also, if you enable 'Use highlight as temporary selection' (Edit | Advanced prefs), you won't actually have to 'select' an element to use aim on.

Just hover / highlight a single element and hit A.

Frame (Shift + A) and View | Align to Selection might also be of use / interest
(the latter aligns a selected face so it lies parallel to the screen plane)
