How can you rotate the view of a model in SolidWorks?

To rotate the view of a model in SolidWorks, utilizing the middle mouse button is the correct method. When you hold down the middle mouse button and drag the mouse, it allows for a smooth and intuitive rotation of the model about the axes in 3D space. This functionality is integral to the design process, enabling users to manipulate and examine different aspects, angles, and dimensions of a model effectively.

While clicking and dragging with the left mouse button can perform other commands, it doesn’t facilitate models' rotation in a 3D environment directly. Keyboard shortcuts can provide efficient navigation and other functions, but they may not specifically address model rotation in the same manner as using the middle mouse button. Additionally, selecting rotation from the view menu may involve multiple steps and is not as fluid or quick as the direct manipulation provided by the middle mouse button. Hence, the middle mouse button method is widely regarded as the most efficient for rotating views in SolidWorks.
