Use Navigation Bar
Unified and product-specific navigation tools can be accessed from the
navigation bar.
Available Navigation Tools
The navigation bar is a user interface element where you can access both
unified and product-specific navigation tools.
Unified navigation tools (such as ShowMotion
®
, 3Dconnexion
®
, and
SteeringWheels
®
) are those that can be found across many Autodesk products.
Product-specific navigation tools are unique to a product. The navigation bar
floats over and along one of the sides of the current model’s window.
You start navigation tools by clicking one of the buttons on the navigation
bar or selecting one of the tools from a list that is displayed when you click
the smaller portion of a split button.
The following unified navigation tools are available from the navigation bar:
■ SteeringWheels. Collection of wheels that offer rapid switching between
specialized navigation tools.
■ 3Dconnexion. Set of navigation tools used to reorient the current view of
a model with a 3Dconnexion 3D mouse.
The following product-specific navigation tools are available from the
navigation bar:
■ Pan. Moves the view parallel to the screen.
■ Zoom tools. Set of navigation tools for increasing or decreasing the
magnification of the current view of a model.
Use the Navigation Bar in Paper Space
In paper space, only the 2D navigation tools (such as 2D SteeringWheels, Pan,
Zoom, and the 2D Mode 3Dconnexion tools) are accessible.
