3.1.2.1. Methods

If the MWO Mouse Interaction Mode environment variable is False:

Camera Action	Direction	User Input
Zoom	In/out	Scroll the mouse wheel.^[1]
Zoom	In/out	Shift + press the middle mouse button. Drag up/down.
Pan	Left/right	Shift + scroll the mouse wheel.
	Up/down	Ctrl + scroll the mouse wheel.
	Any	Ctrl + press arrow keys.
	Any	Ctrl + press the middle mouse button and drag.
Rotate^[2]	Any	Press arrow keys. Angular increment is set by Camera Rotation Increment environment variable.
		Shift + press arrow keys. Angular increment is 90-degrees.
		Press the middle mouse button and drag.
Spin	Clockwise/counter-clockwise around view axis	Alt + press arrow keys. Angular increment is set by Camera Rotation Increment environment variable.
Fit To View		Double-click the middle mouse button.
Area Pick		Click left mouse button, drag to left to select a region of interest. Only items completely within the selected region are picked.
Area Pick		Click left mouse button, drag to right to select a region of interest. All items intersecting the region of interest are picked.
^[1]The camera zooms in towards the mouse cursor and out from the center of the view. If the working plane is visible, the spacing of the major and minor working plane grid lines is automatically optimized and displayed in the upper left corner of the view. ^[2]The camera rotates around the "rotation center." This is the point on the geometry nearest the cursor if sufficiently close, otherwise it rotates about the center of the visible model. While the middle mouse button is depressed, a marker displays in the view at the rotation center when appropriate.
