Viewport Navigation

At the right end of the status bar are the buttons that control the display and navigation of the viewports.

Some of the buttons change for camera and light viewports. The Field Of View button changes for Perspective viewports.

The state of the navigation-button flyouts for all viewport types is saved in the [Performance] section of the Initialization file.

Viewport Navigation Controls

The navigation controls depend on the active viewport. Perspective, orthographic, camera, and light viewports all have specialized controls. The term “orthographic” refers to User viewports as well as viewports like Top, Front, and so on. The Zoom Extents All flyout and Maximize Viewport toggle, available in all viewports, are included with the perspective and orthographic viewport controls.

Many of these controls are modal, meaning the tool stays active for repeated use. The button highlights when on. To turn it off, press Esc, right-click in a viewport, or choose another tool.
