    Is there a way to have the isometric view face the other way? The
    default configuration has the front plane facing to the left. I want
    the front to face to the right.

    Thanks,

    There is a way......go to Leonard Kikstra's web site and download his
    "IsoViews" macro....it will give You that and a little bit more.

    Martin,


    You can change the view orientation. Open the part that you want to
    change the orientation on. Rotate the view until you have what you
    want as the front view. Hit the space bar to bring up the view
    orientation menu, select the front view, then hit the update standard
    views button. This will reorient your part. You can create you own
    views and save them with a name.

    You can create you own
    Right. I was aware of that. However, I don't want a manually placed
    view but rather a numerically accurate view. Is there a way to enter
    a transform matrix (or whatever SW might want) in order to locate the
    model in space as desired? Once that is done, saving a view is a
    trivial excercise.

    I can see how it is done with a macro. Maybe that's the only way?
