Use the SteeringWheels Rewind tool to retrieve previous views from the navigation history.
The rewind tool is available on all SteeringWheels. As you use the navigation tools to reorient the view of a model, the previous view is saved to the navigation history. The navigation history holds a representation of the previous views of the model, along with a thumbnail. A separate navigation history is maintained for each window; it is not maintained after the window is closed. Rewind navigation history is view-specific.
With the Rewind tool, you can retrieve previous views from the navigation history. From the navigation history, you can restore a previous view or scroll through all of the saved views.
When you hold down the mouse button over the Rewind tool on the wheel, the Rewind History panel is displayed. You can scroll through the navigation history. To restore one of the previous views in the navigation history, drag the bracket to the left in the Rewind History panel.

Dragging to the left restores an older previous view. Dragging to the right restores a view that is newer than the one you are currently viewing.

The current position in the navigation history is indicated by the orange box that is dragged along the Rewind History panel.
