Look At Command (cylindrical selection upgrade)

Look At Command (cylindrical selection upgrade)

Allow the selection of cylindrical features and axes when utilizing the "Look At" (page up hotkey) command.

The desired view would be normal (perpendicular) to the central axis of the cylindrical feature (the nearest normal orientation from the current view orientation).

 

This would remove the two steps of having to create an Axis Work Feature (center of cylindrical feature) and then a Plane with which to use the Look At command on.

 

Note: Currently there is well defined functionality for using "Look At" after selecting a straight line or part edge, which rotates the current view such that the line is horizontal. This behaviour should remain unaltered (an axis is not considered a line by the "Look At" command and currently can not be selected). The idea is not to treat an axis as a line by this command, but rather to add extra functionality.

 

Thanks!
