Wheel
The size of a wheel controls how large or small the wedges and labels appear on the wheel; the opacity level
controls the visibility of the objects in the model behind the wheel.
Control Tooltips for Wheels and Messages for Tools
Tooltips are displayed for each button on a wheel as the cursor is moved over them. The tooltips appear below
the wheel and identify what action will be performed if the wedge or button is clicked.
Similar to tooltips, tool messages and cursor text are displayed when you use one of the navigation tools from
a wheel. Tool messages are displayed when a navigation tool is active; they provide basic instructions about
using the tool. Tool cursor text displays the name of the active navigation tool near the cursor. Disabling tool
messages and cursor text only affects the messages that are displayed when using the mini wheels or the big Full
Navigation wheel.
To display a wheel
1 Click View ➤ SteeringWheels.
2 Click the wheel you want to display, for example Full Navigation Wheel.
