LinceCAD 3DORBIT — 3D Orbit
Rotates the view around the target by dragging with the mouse (the Z axis stays vertical).
- Command:
3DORBIT· Global name:_3DORBIT· Alias:3DO,ORBIT - Ribbon: View › 3D Views
- Menu: View
Rotates the view around its target by dragging with the mouse, like AutoCAD 3DORBIT. The Z axis of the drawing stays vertical on screen.
Usage
- Enter 3DORBIT (or 3DO) or click the button on the View tab.
Drag to rotate the view; Enter or Esc to end:
- Drag with the left button: horizontally the view rotates around the Z axis; vertically it tilts.
- Press Enter or Esc to end.
Notes
- With no active command, Shift + dragging with the middle button does the same orbit (as in AutoCAD).
- From the plan view, the target is the point at the center of the screen; in a 3D view, the center of the screen at half the depth of the drawing.
- The view is saved in the drawing (VIEWDIR, TARGET and VIEWTWIST of the current viewport) and AutoCAD opens it the same way.
- To go back to the plan view, PLAN.
