You can pan and rotate all objects in the document at the same time by dragging
certain parts of the Robot using the mouse.
You can:
Pan along the direction of any axis (X, Y, or Z) of the Robot.
Rotate in a plane.
Pan in a plane.
Rotate freely about a point on the Robot.
View the document perpendicular to any of the axes of the Robot.
Before you begin:
The Robot and the absolute axis at the lower right of the
document are aligned identically by default.
When you resize a window with a viewer, the viewpoint resizes according to height only and not
to width. To keep the content fit to the viewer, run the
Fit All In command after resizing the
window.
Rotate to see how the objects, the
Robot and the absolute axis rotate
together.
Point to the Robot.
Important:
If you selected
the Display manipulation bounding box option, a box
appears around the selected object if you can manipulate it with
the Robot.
The edges of the
bounding box around a selected object always remain
aligned with the Robot axes.
Drag any axis on the Robot.
The viewpoint is panned along the direction of the
axis.
Drag an arc on the Robot.
For example, dragging one arc to the right
rotates the objects in the plane subtended by the arc.
Dragging close to the blue cube rotates the
objects quickly; dragging further away from the blue cube rotates
more slowly. The rotation axis used is the same as that used when
rotating using the other rotation tools.
Drag a plane on the Robot to the right.
The objects are moved to the right on the same plane.
