| CN | Picks a node about which dynamic rotation occurs. This remains active (with the button lit) until disabled by pressing again. |
| AC | Calculates the correct scale and centre position required to make the current image fit neatly onto the screen. This takes account of blanking, clipping, deformations, etc. Also available from shortcut button A. |

| Save P | Saves the current viewing attributes as a "Saved property" (see Saved Properties). |
| <= and => | Toggles backwards and forwards through any previously saved properties. |
| Views | Access to View manager (see VIEW MANAGER... Storing and retrieving "view" information) |
