ViewCube Tab (Options Dialog Box)

Show the ViewCube

Checked by default. Control whether or not the ViewCube is shown.

Keep Scene Upright

Checked by default. Uncheck this option to prevent the model from switching to a top-up view, set by the designer, when a ViewCube view is selected.

When Dragging on the ViewCube

Snap to Closest View

Checked by default. Controls whether or not the view snaps to the closest available fixed view when you release the mouse button after dragging the ViewCube.

When Clicking on the ViewCube

Fit-to-View on View Change

Checked by default. Zooms the view of the model or selected object when you click the ViewCube.

When unchecked, clicking or dragging the ViewCube rotates around the current center of rotation and does not zoom in or out.

Orient ViewCube to Current UCS

Checked by default. The ViewCube is reoriented to the currently selected UCS, when one is active. When unchecked, or when no UCS is active, the ViewCube is oriented to the WCS.

When you create a UCS and make it active, a Coordinate System drop-down list is displayed below the ViewCube. From the list, you can quickly select a different coordinate system or access the Manage Coordinate Systems dialog box.

Display

On-Screen Position

Position the ViewCube in any corner of the Canvas. By default it is displayed in the Top Right corner.

NoteWhen you change the position of the ViewCube, the position of the Roll Arrows and Home button are also changed relative to the ViewCube.

Size

Set the display size of the ViewCube on the Canvas. The default setting is Normal.

Inactive Opacity

Set the ViewCube visibility when the mouse pointer is distant from the ViewCube. Move the mouse pointer near the ViewCube to make it fully opaque (visible). The default inactive opacity is 50%.
