Rotate view tool in CS5
Steve, Can you tell me where to find the "rotate view tool" in CS5? It's on the tool bar in CS4 but I can't find it in CS5! The OpenGL drawing box is selected in preferences but I can't find the tool anywhere.

It is there - it's just moved down to the bottom (above the Zoom tool). The shortcut is R.

Do you find this tool useful? I've never got much value out of it.

Re: Rotate view tool in CS5
Ok, Thanks Steve! I'll look when I get home. Yes, I do find it useful when using brushes. Have you ever been in an uncomfortable position drawing or stroking in an odd direction?
I find if you rotate the canvas it is much easier to draw precisely (or more precisely, lol). This is about the only time I use it. But it does have its advantages. Much better than drawing and undoing, drawing and undoing! Thanks again.
Neil
