There are several fixed viewing directions available from the View tab.
— Use the
View Mode buttons to switch between milling and turning view modes. These modes determine how the model is orientated in the graphics window.
— Use the
From options to orientate the view so the model is viewed along the X, Y, or Z axis. Hover on any of these buttons to display a 2D view toolbar which has additional view options along the primary axes.
— Use the
ISO options to change the view angle to any of the isometric views. Hover on the button to display other isometric view options. Isometric views are often the best starting point for dynamically manipulating the view using the mouse.
— Use the
Last option to view model as previously displayed.
— Use the
Refresh option to redraw all currently displayed components, repairing any damage to the current view. This is useful if the view loses definition as items are created, modified, or deleted.
— Use the
Resize to Fit option to adjust the view so the entire model can be seen. Depending on the current view,
PowerMill zooms in or out to achieve the new view.
— Use the
Zoom options to zoom in or out of the model.
— Use the
Block option to show or hide the block.
— Use the
Shade option to show or hide the shaded representation of the model. Expand the
Shade menu to show the other shading options.
— Use the
Wireframe option to show or hide the wireframe representation of the model.
