Setting a Model in a View

View the model in the working window.

1. Select Projection> Other View.

Saving a Custom View

You can set the model to the desired view in the working window and save the view. The viewing direction (angles), zoom, perspective and model section mode on planes parallel to the coordinate axes (3D Limits) are saved for this view. The view can be model-specific or applicable to all models. You can use custom views in 3D PDF files saved from the model. Save a custom view as follows:

1. Set the model to the desired view in the working window.
2. Select Projection> Other View.
3. Click the Add button.
4. Type the name in the View name field.
5. Do either of the following:
   • Clear the Model Specific checkbox. You can set any model in the view. The view can be selected for all models.
   • Select the Model Specific checkbox. You can only set the model opened in the window in the view. The view can only be selected for the model in question.
6. Confirm by clicking OK.
