Center Tool
With the Center tool, you can define the center of the current view of a model. To define the center, you
drag the cursor over your model. A sphere is displayed in addition to the cursor. The sphere indicates that
the point below the cursor in the model will be the center of the current view when you release the mouse
button, the model is centered on the sphere.
Forward Tool
You use the Forward tool to change the magnification of the model by increasing or decreasing the distance
between the current point of view and the pivot point. The distance that you can move forward or backward
is limited by the position of the pivot point.
NOTE In orthographic views, the Forward tool is limited to the distance between the current position and the
pivot point. In perspective views, it is not limited, so you can move the cursor through the pivot point.
