Motion > Directional Modes > Plant North
Defines the forward, back, left, and right motions based on north in the model. Forward moves north, back moves south, right moves east, and left moves west. North in the model is always the top of the Plan view. Watch the Plan view when using this mode until you become familiar with the mode.
The Plant North mode allows you to look in one direction, defined by the view cone, while moving in another direction. This mode is similar to View Independent mode with the exception that forward is always north.
The mouse drag modes, positioning modes, and Position Control toolbar all affect how the directional modes operate.
