Camera Reference Point uses the camera's reference position as the center for rotation.
Viewport Center rotates the model around the center of the viewport, regardless of model placement.
Model Center calculates the center of the objects displayed in the viewport for rotation.
Selected lets the user pick any position on the model to be used as the rotation center.
The Rotate icon appears at the rotation center.
When any of the four rotation modes are selected, Center Mode is activated in the Viewing group. Click this icon to return to Follow Mouse mode.
Creo Elements/Direct 3D Access will use the last rotate center method used in the previous session, except for Selected, which is model dependent.

You can also use the arrows on your keyboard to switch among standard views of your model. Each time you click on an arrow, it rotates the view 45 degrees in the direction of the arrow.
