About Layout Views Customization
  1. Click Me > Preferences > Standards.
  2. In the Standard Definition dialog box, from the Category list, select drafting and under ANSI-ASME, click the Layout Views Customization node.
  3. Define the primary view type (front, right, rear, left, top, or bottom) from the Primary view list.
  4. Define the 3D axis from the 3D Axis: H (horizontal), V (vertical) and N (normal) drop-down lists: this specifies which plane the primary view lies on and which orientation has the outgoing normal. For example, defining a front view on the xy plane and +z normal means that the rear view is located below the front view, along the z axis. On the opposite, defining a front view on the xy plane and -z normal means that the rear view is above the front view, along the z axis.
  5. Define the view box anchor point from the 3D Axis position list.
  6. Define the 3D axis origin from the 3D Axis origin: X, Y and Z lists.
  7. Define the view box overall dimensions from the Views distances: Front-Rear (distance from the front to the rear of the box), Right-Left (distance from the right hand-side to the left hand-side of the box) and Top-Bottom (distance from the top to the bottom of the box) lists.
  8. Select Reverse Left view and Right view naming if you want the Right view to be called Left view, and vice versa. This only reverses the name (not the type) of the views.
