View tab and View pannels?

Anonymous · ‎11-10-2017

I'm using the student version of AutoCAD on MAC for the first time (I usually use PC) and I can't find a Views tab or a Views Panel. I need to access a view according to GMetrix, in which I can't find a Views tab or a Views Panel to select the view. Is there anyway to do this?

MAC version looks nothing like the PC version: there is no Ribbon or Tabs.
And I'm not sure what your instruction sheet is stating, there is no "snap" named view in the VIEWS panel in the VIEW tab on the Windows version here.

Is it just asking you to start VIEW command?

Hi

On Mac you create and save custom views with command line version of VIEW command:

Then you can switch between saved views in the drawing with Model space viewport controls:
