The Autodesk® ViewCube® is a highly interactive, persistent tool for controlling the orientation of your model. It provides a simple way to select standard (Cartesian-aligned) and isometric views of your model. The ViewCube tool provides visual feedback about the current viewpoint of the model as view changes occur.
You can use the ViewCube to quickly orient in any of 26 pre-set orientations, rotate the model about the Cartesian axes, and reset the model to its default orientation.
By default, the ViewCube appears in the top, right corner of the graphics window in an inactive state. When the cursor is positioned over the ViewCube tool, it becomes active.
To orient the model, switch to one of the available preset views, roll the current view, or select the Home view of the model.
