Visualizing 3D Models - Autodesk AutoCAD 2013 Practical 3D Drafting and Design - page 57

The VSCURRENT command (alias VS ) specifies the visual style for the current view-
port. It works from the command line, which means that it is the quickest way for
setting a predefined visual style. For instance, to set the Realistic style, we press
the sequence VS and press the Enter key, and then R followed by the Enter key. To
set the 2D Wireframe style, we press VS and the Enter key, and then 2 , followed by
the Enter key.
Other possible ways to choose another visual style are the third viewport control
(since Version 2012),the Visual Styles panel in the View tab on the ribbon, the Visu-
al Styles toolbar, or the 3DORBIT command shortcut menu.
Creating and modifying visual styles
Normally, the ten visual styles that come with AutoCAD are enough, but we may cre-
ate others. The VISUALSTYLES command (alias VSM ) displays a palette for creating
and modifying visual styles.
