Cf. Help->Shortcuts:
Mouse:
move - highlight the elementary geometrical entity
currently under the mouse pointer and display
its properties in the status bar
- size a rubber zoom started with Ctrl+Left button
Left button - rotate
- accept a rubber zoom started with
Ctrl+Left button
Ctrl+Left button start (anisotropic) rubber zoom
Middle button - zoom (isotropic)
- cancel a rubber zoom
Ctrl+Middle button orthogonalize display
Right button - pan
- cancel a rubber zoom
- pop up menu on post-processing view button
Ctrl+Right button reset to default viewpoint
For a 2 button mouse, Middle button = Shift+Left button
For a 1 button mouse, Middle button = Shift+Left button,
Right button = Alt+Left button
Best,
Christophe
