Viewcube
Viewcube is a tool used for changing the view direction. Viewcube is located on the upper right hand corner of the drawing area by default.
The view can be changed to one of the default view directions by clicking any of the viewcube’s faces, edges or arrows surrounding the cube.
Viewcube always rotates itself to a position that represents the current view direction. The view can also be rotated freely by clicking and dragging the viewcube.
The viewcube toolbar is displayed with the viewcube.
This toolbar can be used to change the shading mode, modify view clipping, and zoom the drawing as follows:
