Standard views in a model...

Standard views in a model...

Standard views in a model...

(OP)
Is there any way to quickly obtain the standard orthographic views in a model?  I know of the "right-click", "isometric view" one, but can I get "front", "side", "back", etc. views in the same manner?  I would even be happy with a macro.  The selection of the rotate icon and spacebar combo is too laborious.


Thanks.

RE: Standard views in a model...

There is a tool bar that allows picking standard views.

I feel hitting the space bar for the Orientation window is very quick and easy to use.  Not sure what you mean by "combo".

The above refers to SolidWorks software.  Sorry, I thought I was in the SolidWorks forum.

You can make up a template with the standard views place.  Make a drawing with the views set up however you like them and then save it as a template.  Then you will just have to tell it which part and it will place the views.
