Other Navigation Modes
Choose one of the following 3D navigation modes:
Constrained Orbit (1). Constrains orbiting to the XY plane or the Z
direction.
Free Orbit (2). Allows orbiting in any direction, without being constrained
to the XY plane or the Z direction. See
3DFORBIT (page 32).
Adjust Distance (4). Simulates moving the camera closer to the object
or farther away. See
3DDISTANCE (page 25).
Swivel (5). Changes the cursor to an arched arrow and simulates the
effect of swiveling the camera. See
3DSWIVEL (page 53).
Zoom (8). Changes the cursor to a magnifying glass with plus (+) and
minus (-) sign and simulates moving the camera closer to an object or
farther away. Works like the Adjust Distance option. See 3DZOOM (page
54).
Pan (9). Changes the cursor to a hand cursor and moves the view in the
direction that you drag. See 3DPAN (page 45).
TIP You can switch to any mode by using the shortcut menu or by entering
the number displayed after its name.
