Rotate

To rotate the camera in a plane parallel to the plane of the viewport and about the center of the viewport, depress the SHIFT key and the left mouse button. To rotate the camera clockwise, drag the cursor to the left; and to rotate counterclockwise, drag the cursor to the right.

To rotate the camera in a vertical plane perpendicular to the plane of the viewport and about an axis through the center of the viewport, depress the left mouse button. To rotate the camera up, drag the cursor up and to rotate the camera down, drag the cursor down.

To rotate the camera in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the plane of the viewport and about an axis through the center of the viewport, depress the left mouse button. To rotate the camera to the right of the viewport, drag the cursor to the right; and to rotate it to the left, drag the cursor to the left.

By dragging the cursor horizontally and vertically at the same time, the camera will be rotated in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the viewport and oriented along the direction of motion of the cursor. This is effectively a combination of the above two rotations.

You can obtain different rotation results by means of panning, scaling, and zooming. This way you can view the scene from all possible positions and at different levels of detail to obtain the display you require.

Auto rotate

To continuously rotate the model, perform a rotation; click the right mouse button in the viewport; choose the Display entry in the context menu; choose the Auto Rotate entry in the additional context menu. SAP Visual Enterprise Viewer will continue to perform that rotation until you click the left or right mouse button in the viewport. Auto rotation will continue to occur for each rotation until you deselect the Auto Rotate entry in the context menu.
