Changing the Visual Orientation of a Drawing Sheet

You can orient a drawing sheet using the normal mouse + keyboard combinations and menu commands. For example, you can press the middle mouse button and drag to spin the drawing sheet. See Orienting.

Right-click anywhere in the drawing sheet and select View > Flat View from the context menu to view the sheet head-on.

Drawing sheets have separate named views in the Views tab. These are the views used to orient your sheet in the design area. The default named views are:

  • Home: Changes the view to head-on by default. Can be set to a different view.
  • Plan View: Changes the view to head-on based on the face you have selected. If nothing is selected, the sheet is oriented to the drawing window.
  • Flat View: Changes the view to head-on for the drawing sheet.

See Customizing views.
