By selecting VIEW \ MODE \ VIEW TOOLS from the menu, the user may return to the "View Tools" method of navigation and picking.
There are four specialized tools for controlling certain view attributes from within individual graphics windows:

Figure 4:58. Orthogonal View tools.

Figure 4:59. Oblique View tools.
These tools are all operated in basically the same way:
-
Place the cursor over the tool
-
Click and hold the Left Mouse button. The cursor will disappear.
-
Move the mouse whilst holding the Left Mouse button. Viewing changes occur in real time.
-
Release the Left Mouse button to end the operation and cause the cursor to reappear
Note: Double clicking on the Pan Tool, enters hand panning mode - use the cursor to grab and drag the scene relative to the window.
