Navigate with a trackpad
Use scrolling, supported device gestures and the canvas menus without an external mouse.
Place the pointer over the canvas before navigating. Scrolling over a sidebar scrolls that sidebar instead. The available gestures depend on your device and the active navigation mode; use the application’s device-specific help rather than assuming that all two-finger movement pans.
Zoom the plan
Vertical two-finger scrolling zooms the plan toward the pointer. A horizontal gesture, or Shift with scrolling, pans the plan horizontally. Use Zoom in the canvas menu bar or the status bar for button-based zoom and fitting actions.
Pan in any direction
Press H to choose Pan, then drag using the trackpad’s primary-button drag gesture. Hold Space for temporary pan where the editor supports it. Press V to return to Select.
Find the current 3D gestures
Open Navigate → Navigation help → Trackpad. This shows gestures for the current 3D navigation mode. The Mouse, Touch and Keyboard tabs are also available. Use Reset camera if you need to restore the home view.
Choose a viewpoint without a gesture shortcut
Use View → Standard for fixed directions and projection choices. Navigate → Set orbit center chooses an orbit pivot. View from point and Start walking here place a viewing position or walk start in the design. Back to overview leaves Walk.
Use secondary click
Use the secondary-click gesture configured for your trackpad to open contextual actions. On many trackpads this is a two-finger tap or click. If it is not recognized, check the operating system’s secondary-click setting rather than relying on a particular three-finger system gesture.
