Yes, it's great as an addition, but not as a replacement. Steve, if you decide to keep it, how about retiring the camera tilt from arc rotate and making it available only in track ball mode?

ELECTROHERMIT:
Is the navigation arc too large, when panning with the arrows, now the mouse goes off screen and I can only pan a little distance. I would prefer the arc about 1/2 the size it is currently.

I find myself trying to pan with the right mouse button out of habit, it would be nice to continue with the RMB pan ability. Zoom is not an issue as I use MMB.

The new navigation arc seems to provide finer control and less dead spins than before, overall it seems more professional.

am i missing something, or is it no longer possible to rotate multiple axes at once?  i like being able to rotate multiple axes.

i can see how the separate-axis controls could be useful in some contexts, but if we're going to go with the trackball model then please could we have an extra widget added to it that allows multi-axis behaviour in line with the original tool?

Steve:
Good feedback. There does need to be an easier way to pan, plus a way to pan in X and Y directions simultaneously. I'm also working on two-axis rotation but the math is a little tricky so it's taking longer that I thought it would.

I have to agree, the fluidity and quick rotational control of the old arc is a must. I do like the new arc for finely tuned XYZ control when working in detail, but for macro tweaks the old arc cannot be beat. I believe I will be switching between the two arcs as needed.
