If you have a computer with a touchscreen that recognizes at least two touch points, you can use touch and gesture controls in place of your mouse and keyboard. Check the information that came with your computer, laptop, or touchscreen to find out about the number of touch points supported by your monitor.
Because Intergraph FreeView does not override any currently configured touchscreen gestures, you may encounter
the same touch gesture mapped to different types of operations. If this occurs, consult
the touchscreen information that came with your system to either disable or re-configure
the mapping.
Single- and Multi-Touch Gestures
Intergraph FreeView supports single and multi-touch gestures so that you do not have to use your mouse or keyboard to navigate through the model. Multi-touch gestures enable Fly mode navigation as well as the ability to change views. The table below lists and describes all supported single and multi-touch gestures.
The Zoom, Pan, and Rotate operations are synchronized. You can perform all three at the same time.
