Load View toolbar

Magnifies a screen image by zooming in on a user-defined area. Use the left mouse button to select the area, and the middle mouse button for panning.

If perspective mode is on (use the Perspective view button ), then three boxes are displayed to help you visualise the zooming process. All objects inside the smallest box will still be visible after the zoom. All objects outside the largest box will not be visible after the objects. Objects between these two boxes may be visible, but it depends upon the depth of the zoom. The middle box represents the user defined area.

Notes

• Use B to move backwards through the last zoomed views.

• If your mouse is equipped with a mouse wheel, then you can use this to zoom in and out at any time. The screen will be centred on the position of the cursor. By default, moving the wheel forwards will zoom out; and moving it backwards will zoom in. Check the Reverse wheel zoom check box (under the Graphics : Input section of the Tools > Preferences option) to reverse the default zooming direction.

Moves the entire screen image, i.e. pans current image by dragging. Use the left mouse button to select from > to reference point. View is then changed such that first point is moved to second point. Use the middle mouse button for dragging.

Selects the centre of rotation. After the centre is selected, you are put straight into Rotate mode. Use the left mouse button to rotate; the right mouse button to zoom in and out, and the middle mouse button to pan across the object.

Specify through the Graphics : Input section of the Tools > Preferences option the rotation mode to use once the centre has been selected.

If you click and hold down the mouse button, then the Rotate toolbar displays. From this toolbar you can select various rotation modes. If you click and hold down and drag the mouse, then you can dock the Rotate Mode toolbar.

If you click and hold down the mouse button, then the Look At toolbar displays. From this toolbar you can select various positions from which to view loaded objects. If you click and hold down and drag the mouse, then you can dock the Look At toolbar.

Resets the view in stages:

• If in slice mode, then it will remove slice mode.

• If the exaggeration is other than the default exaggeration, then this will be restored to the default exaggeration.

• If rotated, then the view will be returned to plan view.

• If zoomed, then you will be returned to your original zoom.

Hence, you might need to select the Reset View button four times to reset the view. The [Home] key also acts like the Reset View button.
