Correct a Drawing With a 3D View

Issue

You opened a drawing you received from a client or consultant, only to find it's in 3D and zoomed in a way that prevents you from viewing it properly.

Or you're trying to convert a 3D view into a section.

Solution

To change the perspective in a drawing, type -VIEW in the Command line.

When prompted to Enter an option, type O for Orthographic.

When prompted to Enter an option, you have a number of view options:

• Type T for Top view.
• Type B for Bottom view.
• Type F for Front view.
• Type BA for Back view.
• Type L for Left view.
• Type R for Right view.
