There used to be a setting to use a two-finger rotating motion to rotate the view of an object. I think it got lost in the UI redesign. I find it much more intuitive than clicking on a view (front, top, etc.) to determine how orbits behave. Any chance that the feature could be brought back?

It’s in the horizontal bar’s setting:

Is that on the iPad? I thought it worked on the Mac multitouch trackpad (I have both a Mac and an iPad) but I may be remembering wrong.

Yeah, I found it on my iPad but, sadly, it’s not available on the Mac.

@Istvan: Please add the ability to do two-finger rotation on the Mac multitouch trackpad!
