Rotate a Drawing Sheet

[Anonymous]

i have a weird problem in one of my drawings. When I open the IDW, all the sheets are looking directly at the sheet face. However, somehow in one of the sheets the editor is showing an edge-on view of the sheet - I just see a single line representing the height of the sheet. Sort of like I am looking at the sheet from the side instead of the front. I cannot seem to get it to look at the front of the sheet. The "Zoom All" button on the navigation bar, which has tool tip that says Zoom All is same as "Home" does not restore flat on view. F6, shortcut for home view in other environments, also does not work.

I didn't even know you could rotate a sheet in 3d in the idw environment.

Anyone know how to restore front view?

Hi! What release of Inventor are you on? I vaguely remembered seeing this random behavior before in older releases. But, I don't recall seeing anything like this recently. Please share the files here. Or, you can send them to me directly ([email protected]). I would like to understand the behavior better.

Many thanks!

Silly me - I was looking in all the wrong places. Turned out all I had to do was click "Front View" on the navigation cube. Somehow (while playing around with settings for my 3D Connexion 3D mouse), I accidentally hit some magic combination of buttons that threw the view into a "right side" view.  When in this view, the traditional 3D view cube with the front, right side, left side, bottom, etc became available. When I restored the front view, the view cube disappeared - so I can't even get it to repeat behavior. No bother, if it never happens again I won't be disappointed.

Thanks for your reply.
