Why do 3D cameras get skewed after a while?

[kylejmarsh]

I've noticed this for a while - my exterior camera get's messed up at a certain point so when I try to zoom out with my scroll wheel instead of the camera moving it seems to change the perspective angle - though when I check the camera dialogue box it's still set at 35-degrees.

 

What gives? Not a big deal I just reboot the camera view but still is odd. Anybody solve this or is it a bug?

Do you use a 3d mouse?  If not careful and you can skew your views with it.

Have you perhaps toggled Perspective Crop Mode On?  is it hotkey assigned maybe?

it is no longer on the Toolbars by default but can be placed there manually.

You genius! Absolute madman. How did I not see that it was a hotkey?! Not only that but I'm on Dvorak layout so my P is located where your R key is so i'm always using literally every other key in that area. Wow.

 

 

Thank you so much. Nailed it.

Just realized why I missed it - it was also assigned to another hotkey for end to end dimensions. Since that is a plan-only tool, and the perspective crop is a 3d only tool, it had both of them in there under the P. That's why I never caught it.
