Elevation View - Specify

The View-Elevation Specify command allows you to look at the drawing from one side (through the Z-plane). To change the view to Elevation you must locate the viewing plane in Plan view. First, locate the left corner then drag the cursor along the viewing plane from left to right and locate a second alignment point to the right of the first. The elevation viewing plane defines a two dimensional view that may be created to look in any direction. The contents of the View are automatically Zoomed to Extents++ after the view is changed.

  1. From the View menu choose Elevation-Specify, or from the Common Toolbar select image\view_elevation_button.jpg.
  2. Locate the left hand corner of the elevation view and click.
  3. Drag the cursor along the viewing plane and click on a second (alignment) point.
