## Centering the Probe on the Screen

By default, the part remains stationary on the Graphics Display window and the animated probe moves around the part as its physical counterpart moves in 3D space; to see a different section of a larger part on the screen, you have to translate (or move) the part image inside the Graphics Display window. The Operation | Graphics Display Window | Center Probe menu item changes this default panning functionality so that as the probe physically moves, the part on the screen moves instead thereby keeping the animated probe image always centered on the screen.

This feature can also be accessed by selecting the Center Probe button from the Graphics Modes toolbar.

You will find this centering functionality very helpful if using portable devices with large parts. It allows you to walk around a large part, and even though you aren't near the computer, the Graphics Display window automatically updates so that the probe remains visible in the window along with the section of the CAD model you are inspecting.
