Creating a View Using Generative View Styles
  1. From the View Layout section of the action bar , click Principal Views .
  2. Select a face of the 3D representation.
  3. Click the right or left arrow on the robot to visualize the left or right side, respectively.



  4. Click the top arrow to visualize the bottom side.



  5. Click the counterclockwise arrow to rotate the reference plane.



  6. Drag the green knob to redefine the rotating angle.
    The default increment value is 30 degrees.



    Important: The green knob for angular modification is displayed only when a 3D reference element is selected for view creation.
  7. Right-click the knob and select the required option to modify the increment value.
    • Free hand rotation: Lets you rotate the knob in a free manner using the mouse, instead of snapping it to a given increment.
    • Incremental hand rotation: Snaps the rotation to a given increment (from 30 to 30 degrees, between zero and 330). This is the default value.
    • Set increment...: Displays the Increment Setting dialog box. Enter the required value in the Increment value box. For example, type 5 deg (for 5 degrees) and click OK.
    • Set current angle to:
      • 0 deg: Sets the current angle value to 0 degree.
      • 90 deg: Sets the current angle value to 90 degrees.
      • 180 deg: Sets the current angle value to 180 degrees.
      • 270 deg: Sets the current angle value to 270 degrees.
      • Set angle value...: Displays the Angle Setting dialog box. Enter the required value in the current angle (deg) box.
  8. Click on the center of the robot to set the position of the view.



    The view is created.
