I'm not having a lot ot luck with this,  I'm trying to get to the stage where I have a sphere in the view rather than the default cube - (I'm planning on doing a tutorial, if after 3 or 4 days of trying to move around in blender I can even remember what the tutorial was)

But I get as far as changing the cube to a sphere, checking the position of the... round thing, oh yes, "3D cursor" but when I try to "select the camera" this mucks up the position of the 3D cursor and I have to close Blender and start all over again with deleting the cube... grrrrr!

So... How do I "select" the camera without blender moving the 3D cursor onto it?

Because I'm finding it hard to believe that you have to go through all that business of setting up the 3D cursor on the sphere, to then ruin all that by clicking on the camera... oh please help?

I've been trying to start this &%$&!! tutorial for 4 days. 

I mean, I even did a castle tutorial with ysvry practially taking me through it step by step, and I managed to move around in blender back then... okay it was many, many months ago... maybe even a year, but surely I can't have forgotten that much since then?

Or has blender changed that much?  I am using the latest release now...

Nope it's probably just me... and that's very depressing.   :m_hide:
