Subject: Panning a drawing

You can move the drawing in any direction using the Pan tool () on the View toolbar. Panning shifts or slides the view of the drawing horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The magnification of the drawing remains the same, as does its orienta­tion in space. The only change is the portion of the drawing displayed.       

If you often pan (and zoom) to a certain area of a drawing, you can create and re-use a view using the View Manager.
For details, see Working with named views.

Panning (and zooming) can be affected by smooth view transitions.
Type vtoptions to specify whether smooth view transitions are used when panning and zooming, and to specify speed and performance settings.
