DYNAMIC 3D VIEW
This command makes it possible to rotate the features around
two axes in 3D space. The primary rotation axis is around an axis
that extends out from graphics view port directly at you. The
secondary rotation axis is along the X-Axis of the graphics view
port which starts at the center of the display and points right.
To begin the DYNAMIC 3D VIEW operation hold down the left
mouse button. Dragging the mouse toward the right or left will rotate about
the primary rotation axis. Dragging up or down will rotate about
the secondary axis. Combining the two moves will result in the
ability to rotate the current view to any orientation.
To constrict the rotation to specific angles, hold the
<shift> key down on the keyboard while dragging. Rotation will
take place only in fixed angle increments. The default for this
angle is 15° and can be set to any value in
System
Options.
