Orient View Tool options

(OP)
Hi,
I don't find in the Help the description of this setting.
Can someone tell me what does it ?
And in which case can be useful ?

Thank you...

Using NX 8 and TC9.1

RE: Orient View Tool options

OK, if you notice in the dialog you're being asked to select 2 vectors to define the orientation of the view. If the 'Associative Oreintation' is NOT toggled on when you select those vectors they will simply be used to define a local direction. However, if the option is toggled ON then if you select say an edge, face or datum to define a direction, the view orientation will be linked to those objects so if they move the view will move as well.
