BRILLIANT!! Yes I assumed the option would go in the view options alongside the free rotate etc. What I was asking about before was a way of righting a camera that had got twisted in a funny orbit and ends up upside down with me spinning wildly which sometimes happens! But think I will use this new rotation option a lot - I think it will help moi loads for architectural work. Also ordered a space navigator yesterday so if i use it in first person mode will that unlock the full rotation options for the space navigator? I know you are wisely hesitant to add to the UI but perhaps it could be an option to have the view mode switching option in the UI by the snap options for quick access rather than having to go through the main options each time? Im never satisfied am i!!! ;-)
