Chapter 5: Using Visualization Techniques


FIGURE 5.11
The View Orientation dialog box

The Standard Views flyout is called either Standard Views or View Orientation, depending on
where you see it. The View Orientation dialog box contains the following controls:

l^ Push Pin. Keeps the dialog box active.


l^ New View. Creates a new custom-named view.

l^ Update Standard Views. Sets the current view to be the new Front view; all other views
update relative to this change. This also updates any associated drawing views, but does
not move any geometry or change plane orientation.
l Reset Standard Views. Resets the standard views so that the Front view looks normal to
the Front plane (Plane1, XY plane).
l Previous View (undo view change). You can access this tool by pressing the default
hotkey Shift+Ctrl+Z.

The Standard Views toolbar
I have already mentioned the Standard Views flyout on the View toolbar, but here I describe
the tools it contains in detail. Figure 5.12 shows the Standard Views toolbar in its default
configuration.

FIGURE 5.12
The Standard Views toolbar

By default, the Standard Views toolbar contains the View Orientation button, a tool from the View
toolbar. The View Orientation button is discussed in detail earlier in this section.
