You can access the View and Appearance tabs to update your preferred view and appearance settings for your modeling space such as grid position, projection, and surface analysis, and save up to eight orientation views for quick access.
To access the view and appearance settings:
Windows: Select to access the Views and Appearance tab settings or select View from the menu bar.
iPadOS: Select to access the Views and Appearance tab settings.
macOS: Select to access the Views and Appearance tab settings, or select View from the Mac menu bar.
Views
Default View– Select to reset your view.
Views– Select between Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Right, and Left as your preferred plane during 2D modeling. Note: You can also use the Orientation Cube to choose a plane or reset your view.
Saved views – Save up to eight of your orientation views to easily get back to a specific view of your mode.
To save a view, hover over any of the available views and then select Save.
To update or replace a saved view, right-click (secondary click) on the view you want to replace and then select Update.
To delete a view, right-click (secondary click) on the view you want to replace and then select Delete.
Grid Position– Choose between XY Plane, YZ Plane, and ZX Plane as your preferred planar orientation.
Appearance
Field of view– Fine-tune your view or projection by selecting your preference on a scale of 0 (orthographic) to 90 (perspective) degrees.
Show Hidden Edges– Toggle to enable or disable hidden edges. This setting makes the bodies transparent, and highlights and selects their edges. This is useful if you have a complex geometry and you want to see what’s “inside.”
2-Finger Rotation– Enable this option to use two fingers to rotate your view without moving the position of the camera.
Circular Annotations (Windows only)–Choose between Always Radius or Radius and Diameter as your preferred annotation for circular sketches and geometry. Note: To change circular annotations for iPad and Mac devices, go to Settings or Preferences.
Surface Analysis– Toggle to Show Zebra. When zebra is enabled, you can see how the surfaces meet and determine the surface continuity (G0, G1, and G2). Under Direction, you can specify whether the stripes should be horizontal or vertical.
