While developing courseware for Inventor 2025, I noticed a slight change in how my model was reacting when orbiting it using the {Shift} + MMB keys. Upon further investigation, I wanted to share an enhancement in the 2024.1 software that I found helpful.
I hope you find this enhancement useful as well!
