Do you mean the CraftWare Pro 1.1.4? I downloaded it. I am a first time user.

I wanted to do some simple operations, like flip over the object, because I wanted to print it up-side down. In the transform tool, there is a snap angle, but there is no intuitive way to snap the object. If I rotate why the wheel, it rotates at free degrees. I tried holding Ctrl, or Shift or Alt to turn on the snap features, but nothing. And if you forget to turn off the Auto Apply (which you have to do every time, because the tool does not remember my preferences), it will automatically apply the rotation as I left he mouse button go.

I am trying to be positive here, but this is not an intuitive UI for me.

I slides a mode, I wanted to review it in the Gcode view: the UI is unusable, There is soo much lag on rotating the screen, I move a mouse and the screen responds after 10 seconds. I am running this on laptop with Gen 8 I5 with 16GB or RAM.

If you move your mouse inside the dial circle, then your model will be rotated by "Rotation snapping angle" increments. If you move around outside of the dial circle, then it will be a free rotation. CraftWare requires a better GPU, the CPU isn't a bottleneck here. Some laptop computers are equipped with Intel HD graphics card which performs badly. To solve this, you can enable "Show top layer only" view in the GCODE viewer for better performance. Also in the settings, you can turn off "Use HQ g-code shaders"
