To exchange the functionality of the mouse buttons with respect to Shift key operations, perform the following steps:

1. Hold down the right mouse button 2. Click the left mouse button once When you do so, GAMBIT changes the appearance of the cursor to indicate that the functionality of the mouse buttons has been exchanged. To restore the default functionality of the mouse buttons, repeat the procedure described above. When you do so, GAMBIT restores the default cursor shape to indicate that the mouse functionality has been restored to its default state. Rotate the Model (Left-drag) To rotate the model in any quadrant, left-click anywhere in the quadrant and left-drag the cursor either horizontally or vertically in the quadrant. GAMBIT rotates the model around an axis in the plane of the screen and perpendicular to the direction of mouse movement. Translate the Model (Middle-drag) To translate the model across the screen in any quadrant, middle-click anywhere in the quadrant and middle-drag the cursor either horizontally or vertically in the quadrant. Revolve/Zoom the Model (Right-drag) The right mouse button performs two different types of display operations in the graphics window, each of which corresponds to a different direction of mouse movement:

Revolve (horizontal movement) Zoom (vertical movement)

When you right-click anywhere in a quadrant and right-drag the mouse horizontally, GAMBIT revolves the model around a central axis normal to the plane of the screen. When you right-drag the mouse vertically, GAMBIT zooms in or out on the model. Enlarge the Model GAMBIT allows you to enlarge any portion of the model display by means of the control (Ctrl) keyboard key and either the left or middle mouse buttons. The Ctrl-left and Ctrl-middle mouse button functions differ with respect to whether GAMBIT retains or ignores the proportions of the model when the model display is enlarged.

Retaining Model Proportions (Ctrl-left-drag) When you enlarge the model display by means of the Ctrl-left mouse button, GAMBIT enlarges a region of the modeling space the size of which is directly proportional to the quadrant in which the model display is enlarged. Consequently, the enlarged display retains the correct proportions with respect to model dimensions. When you Ctrl-left-drag the mouse in a quadrant of the graphics window, GAMBIT displays two rectangles that bound the region to be enlarged. The rectangles differ from each other as follows.

The outer (dashed) rectangle represents the total region that is included when the display is enlarged. Its dimensions are directly proportional to those of the quadrant in which it exists. The inner (solid) rectangle shows the region over which the mouse has been dragged.

When you release the mouse button, GAMBIT enlarges the display. Ignoring Model Proportions (Ctrl-middle-drag) When you enlarge the model display by means of the Ctrl-middle mouse button, GAMBIT ignores the proportions of the graphics-window quadrant in which it enlarges the display. Consequently, the dimensions of the model in the enlarged display do not necessarily reflect the actual dimensions of the model. When you Ctrl-middle-drag the mouse in a quadrant of the graphics window, GAMBIT displays a single solid rectangle that represents the region to be enlarged. When you release the mouse button, GAMBIT enlarges the model display such that the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the rectangle fill the entire width and height, respectively, of the quadrant in which the model display is enlarged. If the dimensions of the rectangle are not directly proportional to those of the quadrant, the enlarged model appears to be stretched in either the horizontal or vertical directions. Show Previous View (Double-middle-click) When you double-click the graphics window using the middle mouse button, GAMBIT displays the model as shown immediately previous to the current view. For example, if you display a model in an isometric view, then rotate the model to view one side, you can return to the isometric view by double-middle-clicking the mouse anywhere in the graphics window. Journal View (Double-right-click) When you double-click the graphics window using the right mouse button, GAMBIT writes the command associated with the currently displayed view of the model to the active journal file.
