After installing this hotfix, I found that the pivot point no longer resets to the center of the view but stays at the center of the model. This is inconvenient when attempting to orbit about an object at the extent of the model. If there is a known way to reset the pivot point, please let me know so I can reinstall the hotfix.

Ive got the same problem as DPBell. I also use Revit, Navisworks manage and 3ds max.. Is there an known solution?
Maybe a command to reset te pivot? 3dpivotctl doesnt affect the pivot thats used. thanks in advance
