Setting the RollView AutoTarget Mode

Use the RollViewAutoTarget command to determine how the RollView commands detect the target point.

The target point appears temporarily as a green pivot point  in the graphics area when you click to orbit. The pivot point represents the center for the rotation in 3D.

The RollViewAutoTarget command affects the RollView, RollViewFree, and RollViewContinuous commands.

To set the RollView auto-target mode:

  1. Type RollViewAutoTarget at the command prompt.
  2. Specify an option:
    • On. Sets the orbit pivot point to the center of all geometry visible in the graphics area (default). If you preselected entities, the software sets the pivot point at the center of the selected objects.
    • Off. Sets the orbit pivot point to where you click. The software ignores preselected entities.

Note: When you run a RollView command to orbit, you can turn on and off auto-target mode from the shortcut menu.
