Translate
Drag the mouse while
holding down both left and right buttons to pan the object.
By placing the cursor over a particular point on the object before
pressing the mouse buttons, the object is translated so that the
cursor stays on that point. To recenter the object in the window,
use the Bring to center command from the View menu.

Rotate
Drag the mouse with the left button pressed
to rotate the object. Horizontal motions rotate about the vertical
axis, while vertical motions rotate about the horizontal axis. To
obtain rotations in the plane of the display, move the cursor in
circles. Use Bring to Center to adjust the axis of rotation
when the model is sliced.

Zoom
Drag the mouse with the right button pressed
to zoom the object. A downward (vertical) motion enlarges the
object, and an upward motion makes it smaller. When model is
sliced, use Bring to Center to focus zoom on the slice
piece. Turn off template wireframe or Auto adjust width to zoom
to speed up the display.

Temperature
Press and release the middle button to
display the approximate temperature at a point on the device. This
value is calculated from the interpolated color of the screen
display and so may be inaccurate under some conditions. The P
key may be used instead of the middle mouse button. To erase
displayed temperatures, drag the right mouse button.

Scroll Time
Rotate the mouse wheel to examine a solution
through time. Pulling the mouse wheel back shifts the time
scroller toward t=0, while pushing the wheel forward scrolls the
solution to later time points. If the solution contains only a
single time point, the time scroller is disabled.

Zoom To
Selecting Zoom to from the View menu enables
a click of the left mouse button to be used to zoom to the
location under the magnifying glass. This tool can be used
repeatedly, but be careful not to zoom all the way inside the
model. Use the right mouse button
to zoom out. To release the magnifier tool, select Zoom
to (Ctrl+Z) a second time or hit the Escape key.

|
Slicing
Slice operations involving the mouse enable a left button click
to create a slice at the crosshairs of the cursor. The tool is
released after slicing, but it can be retained by holding the Ctrl
key down when the mouse button is pressed. To pickup the same
slice tool after release, use the Ctrl+X command
accelerator. The slice tool can be released by hitting the Escape
key. The Ctrl+L accelerator may be used to return to a
previous slice of the model.

Device Selection
Device selection by cursor allows a device in a
layout to be selected as the current device (for parameter
changes, saving, etc.) by clicking on the graphical display of a
layout in the main window. The tool may be picked up and released
by Ctrl+D.

Movements Using the Keyboard
The arrow keys on the keyboard can also be used to
move the model. The arrow keys pan the model when no other keys
are pressed. Holding down the Z key allows the up and down
arrows to be used to zoom out and in. Holding down the R key
allows the arrow keys to be used for pitch and yaw rotation.
Holding the T key allows the arrow keys to be used to
rotate (twist) the model in the plane of the window.
