Provides access to the cursor plane menu commands. The cursor plane setting for the view determines
which 3D plane the cursor moves in when the cursor is moved over the CAD view. This only applies where
the view is in a 3D point selection mode, which occurs with certain commands (e.g. Create Part, Move
Parts, Normal & Oblique Activate). Access to the cursor plane setting is also available in the command
dialog (see - Selecting a 3D point ) where appropriate and or
the right click menu during 3D point
selection. The commands are important for finding the required 3D position.
When one cursor plane is active one of the axis values remain static (e.g. the Z-axis value is static when
the XY plane is active). The point selection command dialog
provides an edit box to alter this static value
during point selection.
Close All Layouts
Layouts windows are generated from design windows and show unfolded results of the design. If the
design is closed the dependent layouts are also close (on confirmation). The 'Close All Layouts' command
can be used to close all dependent windows on a design. This also applies to the unfold tabs pages when
the 'View Options' are set to open dependent layout onto added tab pages (see: 'View Options ').
Pan
Provides access to the Pan menu commands for panning the current
view.
Zoom
Provides access to the Zoom menu commands for zooming in and out
of the current view.
Alters the visibility of the parameter editor . In the case of
CAD design (as opposed to parametric design)
the parameter editor tends to be fairly redundant, in which case it may be better to hide it to give more
CAD view area for CAD design. Relselect this command to make it visible again.
Spin
This command spins the design in the 3D view to give a good 3D viewing of the design. Not available in th
alpha version.
View Direction Commands Description
ISO View
Changes the view direction to the isometric (i.e. 3D) view.
XY View
Changes the view direction to the 2D XY plane view.
XZ View
Changes the view direction to the 2D XZ plane view.
YZ View
Changes the view direction to the 2D YZ plane view.
