Detents
The system defines points called detents at regular intervals on the three-
dimensional space. Pressing the [CTR] button (page 588) in the device control
block sets the current three-dimensional parameter values to the closest detent
points.
The following table shows the interval between successive detents for each
transformation operation mode (see page 579).
a) When a value is smaller than 1, 1/Aspect or 1/Perspective (z) is adjusted to an integral value.
Three-dimensional parameter default values
Each of the transformation operation modes has default values for three-
dimensional parameters. If required, you can return the current value to the
defaults by pressing the [CTR] (page 588) button in the device control block
twice in rapid succession.
The following table shows the default parameter values for each
transformation operation mode.
Resetting of parameter values set in the source coordinate space
In some transformation operation modes, if you switch to the target coordinate
space after setting up a three-dimensional transformation in the source
