With the Center command, you can define the center of the current view of a model. To define the center, drag the cursor over the model. A sphere is displayed in addition to the cursor. The sphere indicates that the point below the cursor in the model is the center of the current view. When you release the mouse button, the model is centered on the sphere.
The point defined by the Center tool provides a focal point for the Zoom tool and a pivot point for the Orbit tool.
