Quick Reference

The View Object wheels are used for 3D navigation. Use these wheels to view individual or groups of objects in a model.

With the View Object wheels (big and mini), you can view individual objects or features in a model. The big View Object wheel is optimized for new 3D users while the mini View Object wheel is optimized for experienced 3D users.

Big View Object Wheel

The big View Object wheel wedges have the following options:

Center. Specifies a point on a model to adjust the center of the current view or change the target point used for some of the navigation tools.
Zoom. Adjusts the magnification of the current view.
Rewind. Restores the most recent view orientation. You can move backward or forward by clicking and dragging left or right.
Orbit. Rotates the current view around a fixed pivot point.

Mini View Object Wheel

The mini View Object wheel wedges have the following options:

Zoom (Top wedge). Adjusts the magnification of the current view.
Rewind (Right wedge). Restores the most recent view. You can move backward or forward by clicking and dragging left or right.
Pan (Bottom wedge). Repositions the current view by panning.
Orbit (Left wedge). Rotates the current view around a fixed pivot point.

NoteWhen the mini wheel is displayed, you can press and hold the middle mouse button to pan, scroll the wheel button to zoom in and out, and hold the SHIFT key while pressing and holding the middle mouse button to orbit the model.
