To Work With Defining 3D View Using Coordinates or Angles

Set a View With Viewpoint Coordinates

1. Click View menu 3D Views Viewpoint.
2. Click inside the compass to specify the viewpoint. The selected viewpoint is used to view the drawing in the direction of 0,0,0.

Set a View With two Angles of Rotation

1. Click View menu 3D Views Viewpoint.
2. Enter r (Rotate) to specify a new direction using two angles.
3. Enter an angle in the XY plane measured from the positive X axis.
4. Enter an angle from the XY plane that represents your position while viewing the model in the direction of 0,0,0.

Set Standard Views With VPOINT (AEC Convention)

1. Click View menu 3D Views Viewpoint.
2. Enter a XYZ coordinate according to the viewpoint you want:
   • 0,0,1: Top (plan) view
   • 0,-1,0: Front view
   • 1,0,0: Right side view
   • 1,-1,1: Isometric view

Set Standard Views With VPOINT (Mechanical Design Convention)

1. Click View menu 3D Views Viewpoint.
2. Enter a coordinate according to the viewpoint you want:
   • 0,1,0: Top view
   • 0,0,1: Front view
   • 1,0,0: Right side view
   • 1,1,1: Isometric view (identical a right-out of 45 degrees and a top-out of 35.267 degrees view)
