Vector Selection Cycle (Defining a direction)
Many functions need vector selection, a direction definition.
For example when you want to extrude a curve to make a surface
you must tell the system extrusion direction. SolidCNC use vector selection cycle
whenever user must define a direction.
We will demonstrate a direction selection while setting the view direction (camera direction)
For selecting a camera direction give menu command View->Change View Direction.
As soon as command is given the vector selection cycle will begin and system waits for the
user to define a direction for the camera to set.
You can select principal directions X , Y and Z from the selection bar to change the current direction.
If you want to select –X direction for instance you need to select X direction and press Reverse button.
