Elevation View - Looking North

The View-Elevation-Looking North command allows you to look at the drawing from the side (through the Z-plane) looking in the North direction. To change the view to Elevation you must locate the viewing plane in Plan view. The contents of the View are automatically Zoomed to Extents++ after the view is changed.

Elevation views are one directional; you can only see entities located in front of you. To see all entities in front of you, choose a viewing location outside of the drawing extents (in this case South of the drawing).

  1. From the View menu choose Elevation – Looking North, or from the Common toolbar select image\view_elevation_btn_north.jpg.
  2. Click on a location in the drawing area to select the viewing point.
