Viewport controls are displayed at the top-left corner of each viewport, and provide a convenient way of changing views, visual styles, and other settings.
The labels display the current viewport settings. For example, the labels might read
[+] [Top] [2D Wireframe]
You can click within each of the three bracketed areas to change the settings.
- Click the + or - to display options for maximizing the viewport, changing the viewport configuration, or controlling the display of navigation tools.
- Click Top to choose between several standard and custom views.
- Click 2D Wireframe to choose one of several visual styles. Most of the other visual styles are used for 3D visualization.
Note: Shaded visual styles followed by (Fast) indicate the new cross platform 3D graphics system is being used. Use GRAPHICSCONFIG to turn the Fast Shaded mode on or off.
