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.
Mini Full Navigation WheelBig Full Navigation 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.
To display a wheel
1 On the navigation bar, click the arrow below the SteeringWheels button.
2 Click the wheel you want to display, for example Full Navigation
