Default IDW view orientation

[stephenrottloff7259]

One good modeling practice is to utilize the origin planes to model parts.  These origin planes do not change, and cannot be changed inadvertently.

However, the part and assembly environment view cubes orientation to the origin planes can be changed or reoriented at any time.

Since the view cube's orientation can be changed, and can be changed to be out of sync with the origin planes, I feel when making view of a part in an IDW, the default view should be in sync with the origin planes and not the view cube.

If that workflow can't change, then the addition of a visual indicator on the view cube during view creation showing it is, or is not in sync with the origin planes would be beneficial.

Thank you,

I'm almost certain this already exists as a setting within the styles or document settings of the IDW, so you can change it to suit your needs. So technically, this idea is already implemented.

Hi Justin,

Thank you for the info.. I do not see how a view preference controls the view orientation placed in an IDW.  I know the view cube is related to the naming shown in your screen capture, however, this relation to the origin planes is not controlled.  In other words, can't the view cube's orientation to the origin planes be redefined and not be in sync?  If your screen capture shows the control of the synchronization of the origin planes to the view cube orientation, I need it pointed out.

Thank you again,

Stephen R.
