The 3D Orbit cursor icon appears. If you drag the cursor horizontally, the
camera moves parallel to the XY plane of the world coordinate system (WCS).
If you drag the cursor vertically, the camera moves along the Z axis.
NOTE You cannot edit objects while the 3DORBIT command is active.
While the command is active, you can access additional 3DORBIT options
and modes from a shortcut menu by right-clicking in the drawing area, or
choosing buttons on the 3D Navigation toolbar. See
3D Orbit Shortcut Menu
on page 49.

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.
■ Continuous Orbit (3). Changes the cursor to a sphere with two continuous
lines encircling it and enables you to set the objects into continuous
motion. See 3DCORBIT.
■ Adjust Distance (4). Simulates moving the camera closer to the object or
farther away. See 3DDISTANCE.
