Creating an Axonometric View

You can create an axonometric view.

Important: Clicking anywhere in 3D area is equivalent to click OK in the dialog box associated with this command.

  • When you click in the 3D area, the plane of the axonometric view is defined according to the current zoom level. Thus, the plane is created far from the geometry.
  • When you select the geometry, the plane of the axonometric view goes through the point selected on the geometry.

Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape.
  1. From the View Layout section of the action bar , click View From Reference .
    The Tools Palette appears.
  2. Select Axonometric View from the Tools Palette.

    You can also select Axonometric View on the context toolbar which appears when you select the required face.

  3. Set the point of view and click anywhere.

    Important: You can set a 3D viewpoint and select a point to define the axonometric view.

    The View Creation dialog box appears.
  4. In the Ratio Assistant panel, specify the view ratio.
    • Annotation set ratio: to set the view ratio same as it is specified for annotation set. The value can be in fraction or decimals.

      By default, this option is selected.

    • Current zoom level: to set the ratio according to the current zoom level. The value is in decimals.
    • Suggested ratio: to set the suggested ratio proposed in the list of predefined values based on the current zoom level.

      To customize the list of predefines values, see Ratio Assistant.

      Tip: Select the Propagate to annotation set check box to propagate the specified ratio to the annotation set. When this check box is selected, the specified view ratio is persisted when you open the Ratio Assistant panel.
  5. To change the view ratio, select the view in the 3D area and, on the context toolbar, select Change Ratio.

    You can also right-click the view in the Views and Captures panel and select xxx object > Change Ratio.

  6. Click OK in the View creation dialog box.
    The axonometric view is created. Axonometric views are represented by a magenta reference axis and are identified as Axonometric view A in the tree.
