When the pan tool is active, the Pan cursor (a four-sided arrow) is displayed. Dragging the pointing device moves the model in the same direction. For example, dragging upward moves the model up while dragging downward moves the model down.
In a 3D context, primarily when using 3D SteeringWheels, pan dollies the camera left and right. In a 2D context, pan scrolls the view. If you are using pan with an active view on a sheet, pan scrolls the sheet view, not the active view on the sheet.
Tip: If the cursor reaches the edge of the screen, you can continue panning by dragging further to force it to wrap around the screen.
