■ Swivel. Simulates panning with a camera in the direction that you drag.
The target of the view changes. You can swivel the view along the XY plane
or along the Z axis. (3DSWIVEL)
■ Zoom. Simulates moving the camera closer to an object or farther away.
Zooming in magnifies the image. (3DZOOM)
■ Pan. Starts the interactive 3D view and enables you to drag the view
horizontally and vertically. (3DPAN)
Quick Reference
Commands
3DDISTANCE
Starts the interactive 3D view and makes objects appear closer or farther
away.
3DFORBIT
Rotates the view in 3D space without constraining roll.
3DORBIT
Rotates the view in 3D space, but constrained to horizontal and vertical orbit
only.
3DORBITCTR
Sets the center of rotation in 3D Orbit view.
3DPAN
When a drawing is in a Perspective view, starts the interactive 3D view and
enables you to drag the view horizontally and vertically.
3DSWIVEL
Changes the target of the view in the direction that you drag.
3DZOOM
Zooms in and out in a perspective view.
System Variables
PERSPECTIVE
Specifies whether the current viewport displays a perspective view.
