Selecting a view

 

Use the ViewClosed tool to display a trimetric or isometric view of your design. You can also display a head-on view of the top, bottom, front, back, right, or left side. Your design's orientation in the head-on views is determined by DS Mechanical's default coordinate system.

 

Compared to the isometric view, the trimetric view orients your design so that the front face is angled slightly towards you and less of the top is shown. Compare the two views in the image below. The isometric view is on the left and the trimetric view is on the right.

 

To select a view

Select the view you want from the ViewClosed tool menu in the Orient ribbon group.

When you hover over a view name in the list, a preview of the view is displayed.

 

If you have Animate changes to view projection selected in the Advanced DS Mechanical options, the change in view state is animated.

To display a trimetric or isometric view of your design

Select Trimetric or Isometric from the ViewClosed tool menu.

To display a head-on view of your design

Select Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Right, or Left from the ViewClosed tool menu.
