Update Standard Views

Update Standard Views

You can update standard views from the Orientation dialog box (Shortcut - Spacebar) or by using the menu options. If you have imported a part or started a design and then want to change the part’s orientation to better fit with your overall design you can use the below method.

You can also update standard views without using the Orientation dialog box by clicking View > Set Current View As and selecting the desired view.

We will go through this using the below model for which we want to make the Right view orientation to be the Front view orientation. Below are the images of Isometric and Front View of the model.

To update standard views from the Orientation dialog box (Keyboard shortcut to get orientation dialog box is Spacebar), do one of the following:

1.    Use the Rotate, Zoom, and Pan tools to orient the model.

2.    Click View Selector and select a view.

3.    Select a view from the Orientation dialog box.

We orient the model in Right view and Click Update Standard Views as shown below.

 

 

When prompted, select the standard view you want to assign the current view to. In our case we select the Front View since we want to make the below orientation Front view of the model.

 

 

It will ask you to confirm the update - say 'yes' in the dialog box
