Examine Individual Objects with the ViewCube

You can lock the ViewCube to a set of selected objects. This is accomplished by clicking the Lock to Current Selection option from the ViewCube menu. Locking a selection of objects to the ViewCube defines the center of the current view and the distance from center for the view based on the selected objects. Lock to Current Selection is enabled until it is unchecked from the ViewCube menu, or by clicking the Lock to Current Selection button (next to the Home view button).

Selecting and deselecting objects after Lock to Current Selection is enabled does not affect the center or distance from the center of the view when a view orientation change occurs with the ViewCube. Zooming to the extents of a model does not occur when Lock to Current Selection is enabled, even if the ViewCube is set to zoom to extents after each view orientation change.

Note: With the Fit-to-View on view change option in the ViewCube Properties dialog un-checked, the object is kept in a consistent location on the screen, but is not centered and does not affect zoom.
