Create a new view in a Drawing

NewViewHave you ever wanted to to change the orientation of a view in a drawing after you have inserted a view? There is a little know function that allows a user to rotate / pan or zoom in a model view in a drawing. Typically one can use this function to add a dimension to a hidden feature. When you choose the OK button, it then reverts back to the original view position. However, if you want to save the view’s rotated state, use our old friend the space bar to invoke the old school view dialog box. Here, you can save the view orientation, choose the OK check mark and then change the view from the current view to the new view that you just saved. Cool huh? new_view_drawing
