View Rotation - Like AutoCADs ORBIT

Is there a viewing option similar to AutoCAD's ORBIT? I know you can rotate the view by holding down the middle mouse key but that rotates in all planes. In AutoCAD, ORBIT permits you to select the the plane to rotate with using the mouse. Is there something similar to this in SW?

No one else has this question

Use your keyboard arrow keys. The amount of rotation for each keypress is set in Settings.

  Thank Wayne.
  
  The arrow keys are as about as useful as a dead rat. The arrow keys are too stringent - they don't consider the camera's distance from the focus point so it either moves too much or never enough and you are constantly adjusting the amount of movement.
  
  I was hoping for a mouse solution... Oh well.

    Hi Van Stokes
    
    If you click with the wheel of the mouse on an entity and then you rotate, you turn around this entity. So Click a face parallel to the plane you want (that doesn't work with clicking the plane directly) and then rotate it should works.
