Using Camera Views in Drawings

Unread post by tsmith »

Is it possible to use a camera view directly in a drawing?
Current procedure is to setup the camera view and then 'save as' a PNG and then insert a picture.

Or is this a 'feature' in Visualize?

I dont know if camera views are possible, but you can save the viewport orientation as a "named" View that can be used in drawings from the View palette or View properties manager. Then, utilizing Display states you can show or hide components that are needed or not needed.

Also, it is possible to reorient almost any view type if necessary.
Sincerely,
