Components of the viewport

The viewport title and the border around the viewport are called the viewport decorations. The legend, state block, title block, view orientation triad, and 3D compass are called the viewport annotations. The view orientation triad and 3D compass indicate the orientation of the model currently being displayed. You can change the view of the model by clicking and dragging on the 3D compass; the three perpendicular axes on the view orientation triad rotate with the compass to indicate the current view orientation. For more information, see The 3D compass, and Customizing the view triad. The legend, state block, and title block identify results you display using the Visualization module. For more information, see Customizing viewport annotations.”
