Control The 3D Projection Style; Define A Parallel Projection - Autodesk 057B1-41A111-1001 - AutoCAD LT 2010 User Manual

Save a View
When you name and save a view, the following settings are saved:
Magnification, center point, and view direction
View category that you assign to the view (optional)
The location of the view (the Model or a specific named layout)
Layer visibility in the drawing at the time the view is saved
User coordinate system
Restore a Named View
You can use named views to do the following:
Restore a view that you use frequently while working in model space.
Restore a view on a layout that is zoomed into an area of interest on the
layout.
With multiple model or layout viewports, restore a different view in each
one.

Control the 3D Projection Style

You can view both parallel and perspective projection of a 3D model.

Define a Parallel Projection

You can define a parallel projection.
To determine the point or angle in model space, you can
Enter a coordinate or angles that represent your viewing location in 3D.
Change to a view of the XY plane of the current UCS, a saved UCS, or the
WCS.
Viewing in 3D is available only in model space. If you are working in paper
space, you cannot use 3D viewing commands such as VPOINT or PLAN to
define paper space views. The view in paper space is always a plan view. Use
the PERSPECTIVE system variable to turn off perspective views in drawings
created in AutoCAD.
