Perspective views

In Perspective Camera mode, part or assembly models display in three-point perspective, a visual effect in which parallel lines converge on a vanishing point. This effect is the way real objects are perceived by the human eye or by a camera.

Use Perspective Camera mode to provide a sense of how parts and assemblies would appear to the human eye when manufactured. You can also use Perspective Camera mode to ascertain the relative position of same-size objects in an assembly without having to rotate the assembly.

Note: The term "camera mode" indicates only the particular view method used for models in the graphics window. It is not meant to indicate that you can record actions that take place in the graphics window by choosing either Perspective Camera mode or Orthographic Camera mode.
