2D View Navigation

Use your mouse or, where applicable, your trackpad to navigate 2D views using the following actions.

Using a mouse with a mouse wheel:

Pan - Press the right button and drag the mouse. (To pan at a slower rate, press [Alt] while you drag the mouse.)
Zoom - Rotate the mouse wheel. (To zoom at a slower rate, press [Alt] while you rotate the wheel.)
Rotate - Press [Ctrl] + [Shift] and your mouse wheel, and then drag a "rubber band" line in the Plan View indicating the direction you want to specify as "up", resulting in the view rotating accordingly. The rotation is reset to its default (north up; no rotation) when you either (1) drag a rubber band line in a northerly direction approximately parallel to a north-south grid line, or (2) open a new Plan View.

Pan - Press the right button and drag one finger on the trackpad. (To pan at a slower rate, press [Alt] and the right button while you drag your finger.)
Zoom - Drag two fingers on the trackpad. (To zoom at a slower rate, press [Alt] while you drag your fingers.)
