Ortho Faces with Look At

[Parker.Musselman]

Am I missing something? I have "perspective with ortho faces" checked (and rechecked all the time when Fusion forgets) and when I use the "look at" command it still shows in perspective. Is this the behavior that others see?

No, I am seeing an ortho view when I use the Look At command.

The "ortho" part of "perspective with ortho faces" references the orientation of the view cube, not a selected face. so you will get a orthographic view when the a face on the view cube is lined up. if the face your looking at isn't orthographic to the view cube you will remain in perspective mode. you can temporarily reset the view cube orientation after doing a " look at" to get an orthographic view if you need.

@laughingcreek ok, that is the answer. I believe @jhackney1972 's part was on a "cube face". The attached part is not. The workaround here is changing the current view, or moving to ortho view.
