Snapping to a view

 

Use the SnapClosed ViewClosed tool to display a head-on view of a selected face or plane. You can also use the tool to throw the highlighted face or plane to the top, bottom, right, or left. On a drawing sheet, flipping one view also flips all related views.

SnapClosed ViewClosed works on objects with a direction: planes, datums, cones, torii, curves and edges. For non-linear curves, the direction is determined by the direction between the endpoints.

You can only use this tool in 3D mode; it is disabled in Sketch and Section modes.

  1. Click Select or press S.

  2. Click SnapClosed ViewClosed in the Orient group.

  3. Use objects in the Design windowClosed to orient your view:

  4. Repeat until you see the view you want.
