About the ViewCube
The ViewCube is a navigation tool that is displayed when you are working in 2D model
space or 3D visual style. With ViewCube, you can switch between standard and isometric
views.
The ViewCube is a persistent, clickable and draggable interface that you use to switch
between standard and isometric views of your model. When you display the ViewCube,
it is shown in one of the corners of the drawing area over the model in an inactive
state. The ViewCube tool provides visual feedback about the current viewpoint of the
model as view changes occur. When the cursor is positioned over the ViewCube tool,
it becomes active. You can drag or click the ViewCube, switch to one of the available
preset views, roll the current view, or change to the Home view of the model.

Control the Appearance of ViewCube
The ViewCube is displayed in one of two states: inactive and active. When inactive,
it appears partially transparent by default so that it does not obscure the view of
the model. When active, it is opaque and may obscure the view of the objects in the
current view of the model.
In addition to controlling the inactive opacity level of the ViewCube, you can also
control the following properties for the ViewCube:
- Size
- Position
- Display of the UCS menu
- Default orientation
- Compass display
Using the Compass
The compass is displayed below the ViewCube and indicates which direction North is
defined for the model. You can click a cardinal direction letter on the compass to
rotate the model, or you can click and drag the compass ring to interactively rotate
the model around the pivot point.
