Realtime Zoom and Pan are the Zoom and Pan commands that you use off of your mouse. Now, I've already demonstrated if you hold the wheel button down on your mouse, like so, the Pan appears and you can drag around the drawing, like so. So I'm panning quite happily there. Now as soon as I release that button, though, the Pan disappears, so that's the button Pan on the mouse. What about the Pan over here, either on the Navigation Bar there, or on the Navigate Panel in either 2D or 3D? If I click on that Pan there, that takes me into Realtime Pan and as you can see it's locked. I can just click on the left-hand mouse button and hold and drag and I'm panning in the drawing. Now that works in both a 2D drafting environment and a 3D modeling environment. If I right-click, though, it brings up a different Shortcut Menu, so this is the Shortcut Menu I get in the 3D Modeling Workspace, so you'll notice I get lots of different Views, Visual Styles, Visual Aids and so on. So that's all in there in the 3D Modeling environment, 3D Modeling Workspace. Let me just hit Escape there a couple of times and come out of that Pan there. What we'll do, we'll go to the View Cube here and select Top so that we've got our Top view, like so. What I'll do then is change the Workspace and we'll go to the 2D Drafting and Annotation Workspace again. Now, let's see what happens when I use Pan in the 2D environment. It is subtly different - not by much, but you need to know the differences here. So if I click on Pan now, there's Pan on the Navigation Bar. I'm locked into Pan Mode again. If I right-click now you'll notice, look, the Menu is the same but I've got Zoom Window, Zoom Extents, Zoom Previous. Now, it does depend on whether you've worked in a 3D environment and then gone back to a 2D environment. If you're only working in 2D and you've only ever used 2D you will not get the same menu as this. It will be shorter. You'll only have Exit, Zoom Window, Zoom Extent, Zoom Previous and Orbit. Because I've previously worked in a 3D Workspace I get the 3D settings there, so you'll notice I've got things like preset Views like Top, or I could do a Southwest Isometric. As you can see that flicks straight to a Southwest Isometric View and as you can see the View Cube is updated as per the UCS. If I right-click again and do a Zoom Window, the Zoom Window is different on the Shortcut Menu in the Realtime Zoom and Realtime Pan. If I click and drag now instead of click and click and then click again, it zooms in. So it's a click, a drag and a click. If I just hold down the left-hand mouse button and pan I'm still panning like I was before. So, this right-click, there's lots of settings there: Animation settings, Navigation Modes there, I can go into Constrained Orbit, Free Orbit, there's Zoom there, so I can change Zoom, click and now when I click and move up I zoom in, when I click and move down I zoom out. I then just right-click and I can exit that Mode at any time to go back to my crosshair in whatever environment I'm working in. So let's go back to the Top view there on the View Cube and then rotate the View Cube appropriately, so we're back to our standard Plan View of our architectural design. So, as you can see, Realtime Zoom and Pan, lots of different settings there. Again, another menu full of Zoom and Pan commands that isn't on the Navigation Bar or on the Navigate Panel in your View tab on your Ribbon. So you've got lots of different ways of navigating your drawing. Now, I use all of these at different times, different bases of view, environment and so on. So, make sure that you get used to these. Play around with them, just literally navigate your drawing, explore and use those tools to make sure that you can navigate your drawing effectively, quickly and productively.
