SteeringWheels Tools
Each wheel is divided into different wedges. Each wedge contains a navigation tool used to reorient the current
view of a model. Which navigation tools are available depends on which wheel is active.
Center Tool
With the Center tool, you can define the center of the current view of a model. To define the center, drag the
cursor over your model. A sphere (pivot point) is displayed in addition to the cursor. The sphere indicates that
the point below the cursor in the model will be the center of the current view when you release the mouse
button. The model is centered on the sphere.
NOTE If the cursor is not over the model, the center cannot be set and a prohibited cursor is displayed.
The point defined by the Center tool provides a focal point for the Zoom tool and a pivot point for the Orbit
tool.
NOTE If you want to zoom from the Full Navigation wheels from your defined center point, hold down CTRL before
zooming.
To specify a point on a model as the center of a view
1 Display one of the Full Navigation wheels or the big View Object wheel.
2 Click and hold down the Center wedge.
3 Drag the cursor to the desired location of the model.
