your entire drawing or select one or more objects before starting the command.
When 3DORBIT is active, the target of the view stays stationary and the camera
location, or point of view, moves around the target. However, it appears as if
the 3D model is turning as the mouse cursor is dragged In this way, you can
specify any view of the model.
