Visualizing 3D Models - Autodesk AutoCAD 2013 Practical 3D Drafting and Design - page 44

Note
Changing the view direction, such as activating an orthographic view or applying
VPOINT generates a small animation. The same goes on when using the ZOOM
command's Extents option, the Window option, or some other options. The
VTOPTIONS command allows you to eliminate this animation. On the dialog box
we uncheck the Enable animation for pan & zoom or Enable animation when
view rotates option.
Creating views
The VIEW command (alias V ) creates and manages saved views. On the ribbon, we
can also access this command on the View panel inside the View tab:
The command shows the View Manager box with three areas:
• Views : The area on the left shows the available views that are divided by
Model Views , Layout Views , and Preset Views . Preset Views includes
the predefined orthographic and isometric views. After selecting a view,
its properties are shown in the central area.
• View : The central area displays the properties of the selected view on the
left.
• Buttons : The buttons on the right allow for activating a view, creating a
new view, updating layers associated to a view, editing its boundaries,
and deleting a view.
