There are three 3D View tools:

Pan: Drag in this box to move the camera along the X and Y axes relative to the current

view.

Orbit: Drag in this box to orbit the camera around the currently selected scene object.

If nothing is selected, the camera orbits around its focal plane. For more information
on the camera focal plane, see

Camera Controls

. Orbit can affect X, Y, and Z Position

values, as well as X and Y Rotation values.

Note: If you use the orbit control to change one of the orthogonal reference cameras,
an asterisk appears next to the view’s name in the Camera menu, indicating that the
view is no longer a true orthogonal view.

Dolly: Drag in this box to dolly the camera, moving it along the Z axis relative to the

current view.

Important:

Double-clicking a 3D View tool resets all parameters that can be affected

by the tool.
