hi guys - does anyone else besides me use a laptop? i need to enquire about something.....  there is obviously no num pad on a laptop so how do you change the views when your outside the plane i.e rotate around the plane to get different angles - i know if you press shift and the arrows on the keyboard its shows you the front,back and sides of the plane but i want to see it diagonally etc.... does anyone understand what i mean???? :s

its grand i found out how to do it - you press control,shift and backspace and it cycles/rotates the view 360 degrees around the plane :>
