Stereo map navigation

Keyboard shortcuts for stereo map navigation

Keyboard shortcut	Action	Comment
Ctrl+Alt+S	Activate the Select tool.
Ctrl+Alt+C	Activate the Explore tool.
Click and drag	Pan the map.
Shift	Accelerate change in x,y.	Move the pointer in the desired direction. Press Shift again to return to the standard speed of change in x,y.
Caps Lock	Decelerate change in x,y.	Move the pointer in the desired direction. Press Caps Lock again to return to the standard speed of change in x,y.
Q	Roam.	Move the pointer in the desired direction.
Plus sign (+) or Ctrl+Mouse wheel	Zoom in.	Zoom in on the map.
Minus sign (-) or Ctrl+Mouse wheel	Zoom out.	Zoom out on the map.
Z+move cursor horizontally or Z+Mouse wheel	Change the z-value.	To increase the z-value, rotate the wheel backward or press Z while dragging the pointer to the right. To decrease the z-value, rotate the wheel forward or press Z while dragging the pointer to the left.
Shift+Z+move cursor horizontally or Shift+Mouse wheel	Accelerate change in z.	Press Shift while rotating the mouse wheel. Alternatively, to change the z-value 15 times faster, press Shift+Z while moving the pointer either left or right.
Caps Lock+Z+move cursor horizontally or Caps Lock+Mouse wheel	Decelerate change in z.	Press Caps Lock while rotating the mouse wheel. Alternatively, to change the z-value five times slower, press Caps Lock and then press Z while moving the pointer either left or right.
B	Turn surface snapping on or off.	Surface snapping provides on-demand positioning of the floating mark to the elevation surface at the current stereo cursor location. This provides the z-value at the stereo cursor position. This feature requires the images to have statistics calculated and pyramids built with either bilinear or cubic resampling.
T	Turn terrain following on or off.	Terrain following automatically keeps the stereo cursor on the elevation surface as you pan the stereo image pair. This feature is useful in navigating the stereo display. If you are using a very large image over a remote network connection, it is recommended that you do not use this feature, because there may be significant delays for the system to retrieve the correct information. It is also recommended that you do not use this feature in the fixed cursor mode, especially on images that have frequent and dramatic surface change, such as a DSM with dense buildings. This feature requires the images to have statistics calculated and pyramids built with either bilinear or cubic resampling.
F8	Switch between roaming cursor mode and fixed cursor mode.
~	Temporarily turn off fixed cursor mode.	This turns off the fixed cursor mode to allow you to perform other tasks. To return to the fixed cursor mode, press the ~ key again. Note: There is no need to press the Shift key. This shortcut applies to United States standard keyboards. Other types of keyboards may have a different character on the key. For detailed information, verify which key the VK_OEM_3 (Microsoft virtual key code) is mapped to for your keyboard.
Ctrl+Left arrow or Ctrl+Right arrow; or V+ move cursor left or right.	Adjust the x-parallax.	The two images move toward or away from each other in the x (horizontal) direction.
Ctrl+Up arrow or Ctrl+Down arrow	Adjust the y-parallax.	The two images move toward or away from each other in the y (vertical) direction.
Ctrl+F7	Reset to the default parallax.
M	Activate Auto Load.	Turn on and off the automatic loading of the best stereo pair based on image metadata.
E	Pan to the center of the stereo pair.
Ctrl+Shift+M	Open the Modify Features pane.
