Reposition and Reorient the Navigation Bar
The position and orientation of the navigation bar can be adjusted by linking it to the ViewCube tool, docking
it when the ViewCube tool is not displayed, or freely positioning it along one of the edges of the current window.
When linked to the ViewCube tool, the navigation bar is positioned below the ViewCube tool and in a vertical
orientation. When not linked or docked, the navigation bar can be freely aligned along one of the edges of the
Scene View.
You can specify how the navigation bar can be repositioned from the Customize menu. When the navigation
bar is not linked to the ViewCube tool or docked, a grip handle is displayed. Drag the grip handle on the navigation
bar to reposition it along one of the sides of the Scene View.
If the side of the Scene View that the navigation bar is aligned to is not long enough to show the entire navigation
bar, it is truncated to fit. When truncated, the More Controls
button is displayed and replaces the Customize
button. When you click the More Controls button, a menu is displayed that contains the navigation tools that
