The navigation bar is a user interface element where you can access both unified and product-specific navigation tools.
Unified navigation tools are those that can be found across many Autodesk products. Product-specific navigation tools are unique to a product. The navigation bar floats over and along one of the side of the drawing window.
Start navigation tools by clicking one of the buttons on the navigation bar or selecting one of the tools from a list that is displayed when you click the smaller portion of a split button.
The following unified navigation tools are available from the navigation bar:
- SteeringWheels. The 2D SteeringWheel provides rapid switching between specialized navigation tools.
- 3Dconnexion. Set of navigation tools used to reorient the current view of a model with a 3Dconnexion 3D mouse.
The following product-specific navigation tools are available from the navigation bar:
- Pan. Moves the view parallel to the screen.
- Zoom tools. Set of navigation tools for increasing or decreasing the magnification of the current view of a model.
Use the Navigation Bar in Paper Space
In paper space, only the 2D navigation tools (such as 2D SteeringWheel, Pan, Zoom, and the 2D Mode 3Dconnexion tools) are accessible.
Repostioning the Navigation Bar
Drag the grip handle on the navigation bar to reposition it along one of the sides of the current window
If the side of the window that the navigation bar is aligned to is not long enough to show the entire navigation bar, it is truncated to fit. When truncated, a More Controls button is displayed and replaces the Customize button. When you click the More Controls button, a menu is displayed that contains the navigation tools that are not currently being displayed.
