Setting the View Direction

Use the ViewDirection command to set the viewing direction to the Model.

The drawing entities display as if viewed from the specified viewing point in Model workspace.

1. Do one of the following:
   • Click View > 3D Views > Viewpoint on the menu.

   The viewpoint creates a vector to the origin of the coordinate system (0,0,0), which defines the direction from which the drawing is viewed.

   • Click View > 3D Views > Viewpoint on the menu.
   • Type ViewDirection.
2. Specify the View angle option.
