Display and Use Wheels
Pressing and dragging on a wedge of a wheel is the primary mode of interaction. After a wheel is displayed, click
one of the wedges and hold down the button on the pointing device to activate the navigation tool. Drag to
reorient the current view. Releasing the button returns you to the wheel.
Control the Appearance of Wheels
You can control the appearance of the wheels by switching between the different styles of wheels that are
available, or by adjusting the size and opacity. Wheels are available in two different styles: big and mini. The
big wheel is larger than the cursor, and labels are shown on the wheel wedges. The mini wheel is about the same
size as the cursor, and labels are not displayed on the wheel wedges.

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.
