Forward Tool
You use the Forward tool to change the magnification of the model by
increasing or decreasing the distance between the current point of view and
the pivot point. The distance that you can move forward or backward is limited
by the position of the pivot point.
NOTE In orthographic views, the Forward tool is limited to the distance between
the current position and the pivot point. In perspective views, it is not limited, so
you can move the cursor through the pivot point.
