pick

Choose the center point by picking a point in the window.

Description:

This command reassigns the "center point" of the view. In other words, it picks the point toward which the "camera" or "eye" is looking. This is particularly useful before a zoomf3 to direct the eye to the area of interest before the area is enlarged.

When the pick option is used the cursor shape will be a plus sign. You can then press and release any mouse button over the point you want for the new center of rotation. The new center of rotation will correspond to the x, y, and z position of the point on the front surface under the mouse. The visualization window will go into navigate mode after the new point is selected.

Examples:

center3 1.5, 2.0, 3.5
