Adjusting the Eye Distance

The eye distance may be adjusted as follows.

Dragging – In the Rotate cursor mode Ctrl+Drag+Lft and +Rt to move the eye distance out and in respectively. The sensitivity is governed by the eye distance increment mouse sensitivity Graphics Preferences.

Ctrl+Drag with the mouse wheel (or middle button) held down (in any cursor mode) operates as Ctrl+Drag in the Rotate cursor mode.

Menu commands – The following commands (and their associated accelerator keys) are available from the Graphics | Orientation menu to adjust the eye distance.

• Eye Distance In (Ctrl+Rt). Multiplies the eye distance by (eye distance increment) where the eye distance increment is a Graphics Preferences.
• Eye Distance Out (Ctrl+Lft). Multiplies the eye distance by (1 / eye distance increment).
• Explicitly – Specify the eye distance in the Orientation Settings dialog box.

The program imposes a minimum eye distance of 1mm.

Note that scaling to fit resets the eye distance.
