This chapter describes the view options, the view manipulation
tools, the 3D compass, and the perspective tools, all of which control a camera
that creates the view in a viewport.
The view options allow you to switch between two camera modes and
numerically control some of their properties. The view manipulation tools and
3D compass control the camera to position, orient, and magnify objects in the
view; you can also select custom views such as front and back, as well as
define your own views. The perspective tools control whether
Abaqus/CAE
displays your model with or without perspective; using perspective gives a more
realistic appearance for three-dimensional models.
