3d Snap how does it work?

Hello does anyone know how to use the 3d snap function of the 3d view.I assume you click anywhere in the 3d circle icon and the view snaps to that position.The problem is the view only seems to snap to positions from 6 oclock to 9 oclock meaning peak volumes are always pointing downwards like shown in the picture.Clicking in the center does switch the 3d view off equal to the 3d reset command.Clicking at the 12 oclock position makes the 3d view snap to 9 oclock.By the way im using SL in the ARA mode.

It works like a joystick, and will remain in the position you leave it in…

and dbl-lft click to re-center the joystick

maybe we don’t understand what you are asking…I seldom use anything but 0 for the Z-axis…mainly because selection is not affected by the Z-Axis angle; selection is based on Z-Axis at 0

sorry maybe i missed a couple of things out of the question.If you right click in the 3d joystick circle you will get a drop down window with 2 options ,Reset 3d and Snap 3d.Clicking Snap 3d will put a tick next to it and change it into snap 3d mode.I assume now that instead of dragging the joystick you can just single click anywhere in the circle and the view will snap to that position.I can only get the view to snap to the positions from 6 oclock to 9 oclock.Maybe its use is for something completely different i dont know.Its not really a major issue for me as i only use the 3d view in the 12 oclock position and ive just realised you can manually enter the 3d view Y axis value directly from the display panel shown in the bottom line of the picture.This is very handy and i find 50 is a good value for a nice 3d view with volume peaks pointing upwards.
