3D view light not rotating

Hi!
I'm dealing with a bug where I can't seem to rotate the light in the 3D view with the regular Shift+RMB.
I am able to rotate the environment just fine and it does register in the UI that I'm going between camera and light.
I tried looking at shortcuts but it seems this version of Substance I'm using doesn't have a shortcut section for things like this? It only seems to have Node Creation Shortcuts (:

Rotating the light works fine when I'm in Substance Painter and a restart of Designer doesn't seem to fix it.


I'm on Mac M1 Max Monterey 12.3
Using Substance Designer 11.3.3

Hi

Try Shift +Ctrl+RMB

 

Edit - I am on Windows so on Mac may be Shift+Cmd+RMB

Hi Dave,

Shift+CMD+RMB worked! Thanks a bunch.

Could you perhaps tell me where I could set shortcuts like these? It would be easier to just make it the same between painter and designer.

Hi

I don't know of a full list. In fact the Substance documentation refers to Ctrl+RMB to rotate the environment which does not work here. https://substance3d.adobe.com/documentation/sddoc/3d-view-129368157.html

 

 

I'll tag Adobe's @Luca Giarrizzo who may be able to advise (and perhaps get the documentation page updated)
