Various navigation tools are available to help you navigate around your model and to change its orientation and position, in order to obtain the best view possible.
This section describes how to manoeuver your model to get the best view for your task at hand. Whether you want to simply rotate it, resize it so it fits in the window better, or centre it in the window, there are tools to help you do this. Once you are comfortable with simple manoeuvring, you can add your own viewpoints or add a cutting plane so that you can see results on the inside of the model.
Autodesk Moldflow software supports 3Dconnexion 3D motion controllers, including SpacePilot PRO, SpacePilot, Space Explorer, SpaceNavigator, and SpaceNavigator for Notebooks. Before you can use 3D motion controller functionality, you must have a 3D motion controller device connected.
3D motion controllers allow you to control the rotation axes on different parts of the model and the user interface around it. You can position the cursor at any point and use the 3D motion controller functionality to move the model in the X, Y, and Z axes. You can also program (map) your 3D motion controller mouse buttons to any function by using the software that came with your 3D motion controller device.
