ANSYS Discovery SpaceClaim

Selecting a view

Use the ViewOrientation settings that you can apply to your design, including spin, pan, and zoom. You can adjust these settings individually or you can apply one of the following preconfigured views: Trimetric, Isometric, Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Right, Left. You can also select Snap View and click a face to view it head-on. 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 Discovery SpaceClaim'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.
