Wlock Pro earns its place in the superhive library by doing one narrow thing cleanly: a hotkey that keeps the 3D viewport from rotating, with per-view control and an optional lock indicator. The PRO release is where custom hotkeys and configurable status button colors come in.
Wlock Pro is a Blender addon that stops the 3D view from rotating when you press a hotkey, set to Alt+W by default. It acts only on the 3D view, and a lock icon can appear as an indicator or be disabled in Preferences. You can keep any number of 3D views open, locking and unlocking each one independently.
The PRO release adds setup for your own hotkeys, setup of the status icon or button, and control over the status icon and button colors. The lock is not limited to orthogonal projection: you can lock the viewport from any user camera view by using the hotkey combination a couple of times. Suggested uses include 2D animation, where an accidental rotation of an orthogonal viewport is a common annoyance, and sculpting.
Wlock Pro is listed for Blender versions from 2.8 through 4.2 under a royalty free license, with documentation and a demo video available. A separate LITE version of the addon also exists.
Wlock Pro - An Addon Which Allows To Lock 3D View Rotation is best for 2D animation with orthogonal projection and sculpting, where an accidental viewport rotation gets in the way.
Wlock Pro - An Addon Which Allows To Lock 3D View Rotation is completely free to download and use.
Wlock Pro is listed for a wide span of Blender releases, from 2.8 through 4.2, including the 3.x series and 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2. The addon acts only on the 3D view, locking its rotation with a hotkey. If you run a build outside that listed range, check the developer's page to confirm current compatibility before relying on it in a project you plan to ship.
Wlock Pro locks 3D view rotation using a hotkey, set to Alt+W by default and changeable in the PRO version. It affects only the 3D view, and a lock icon can be shown as an indicator or disabled in Preferences. Beyond orthogonal projection, you can lock the viewport from any user camera view by using the hotkey combination a couple of times, which extends where the lock applies during your work.
Wlock Pro works with any number of 3D views, and each one can be locked or unlocked independently. That means you can freeze rotation in one editor while keeping another free to orbit, which suits multi-viewport layouts. The addon lists documentation and a demo video, so you can review how the per-view locking behaves before setting up your own hotkeys and status button in Preferences.
Wlock Pro is listed here as free, and its license is noted as royalty free. A separate LITE version of the addon is also available. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The listing also references documentation and a demo video to help you get started, and the configurable status button colors are part of the PRO release.
