Description
Mouse
The mouse is an important tool in NVIDIA QuadroView and is used to move and
shift the scene and/or the current camera. Specific manipulations are possible
according to the active viewing mode, i.e, Examiner, Viewer, or Walk.
Thumbwheels
To control the camera by using the thumbwheels (shown in “QuadroView Interface”
on page 12), follow this procedure:
1. Position the mouse pointer in the central area of the thumbwheel.
2. Hold the left mouse button down and move the mouse in the appropriate direction.
The function of the wheels depends upon the selected viewing mode, i.e, Examiner,
Viewer, or Walk.
3D Input Devices
While using the Examiner navigation mode, you can move the scene with a 3D input
device such as the LogiCAD Magellan 3D/Space Mouse or CyberPuck, or the Labtec
SpaceController.
Animation Slider
Note: The Animation Slider (shown in “QuadroView Interface” on page 12) on the
viewer window is visible only if the scene contains animation data.
You can use the animation slider to manipulate the frames and the forward &
backward arrows to single step forward & backward. The frame counter counts
forward & backward
