To Pan the Camera Relative to the Target

  1. Select the Define Camera tool (. Drawing > Annotate > Dimensioning )
  2. In the tool settings window's icon bar, click the Pan icon.

  3. From the Reference Point option menu, choose Target.
  4. Turn on Continuous View Updates, and Display View Cone.
  5. With the pointer in the camera view, enter a data point.
  6. Move the pointer left/right or up/down to revolve the camera about the target, in the direction of the pointer (relative to the initial data point in the view).

    As the pointer moves, the camera view updates dynamically, as does the view cone in other open views (that are displaying the same part of the design).

  7. Enter a data point to accept the new view orientation.


    With Reference Point set to Target: Moving the screen pointer horizontally or vertically, in the camera view (right), revolves the camera horizontally (Top view, top left) or vertically (Front View, bottom left), about the target (Camera, right).

    Note: Similarly, you can revolve the target about the eye point by selecting Eye as the Reference Point.


    With the Reference Point set to Eye: Moving the screen pointer horizontally or vertically, in the camera view (right), revolves the Target horizontally (Top view, top left) or vertically (Front View, bottom left), about the Eye Point (Camera, right).
