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.
