Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. 70 AutoCAD and Its Applications—Advanced orange slider shows the position of the view as you move the cursor. When the tool is fi rst activated, the view is at the top position. The Up/Down tool has limited value. The Pan tool is far more versatile. PROFESSIONAL TIP PROFESSIONAL TIP Use steering wheel tools such as Forward, Look, Orbit, and Walk to manipulate a view and fully explore the model. The Rewind tool can then be used to replay all of the previous views saved in the navigation history. This process reveals model views that can be saved as named views for later use in model construction or for shots created with show motion. Using show motion is discussed in detail in Chapter 20. Remember, views created using steering wheels are not saved with the drawing fi le. Therefore, if there is a possibility they will be needed later, it may be a time-saver to create and save named views as previously discussed in this chapter. Exercise 3-5 www.g-wlearning.com/CAD/ Complete the exercise on the companion website. Mini Wheels The three wheels discussed previously were presented in their full wheel formats. As you gain familiarity with the use and function of each wheel and its tools, you may wish to begin using the abbreviated formats. The abbreviated formats are called mini wheels. See Figure 3-25. The mini wheels can be selected from the navigation bar or the steering wheel shortcut menu. When you select a mini wheel, it follows the pointer in the same manner as a full wheel. Figure 3-24. The indicator displayed when using the Up/Down tool shows the upper and lower limits within which the view can be moved. The top position is the location of the view when the tool is selected.
