Simulation»Camera»Perspective
Switches between Perspective and Orthogonal projection in the simulation window. The Perspective
projection provides a more realistic viewing of the simulation, equivalent to what you
would see in the natural world. With Orthogonal projection, distance has no effect on the size of
an object. Orthogonal views typically provide better control when defining part, stock and fixture
objects.

Switches the camera to one of six standard viewpoints (the VM
View toolbar shown at left provides buttons for each standard
viewpoint). Viewpoints are relative to the frame defined in the
VM Grid toolbar (the stock axis by default).
The camera can only be panned (i.e., not rotated) when a standard viewpoint is selected. You can
select and then immediately unselect a view button, to first snap to a standard view and then
allow camera rotation.
Simulation»Camera»Speed (Ctrl + , Ctrl –)
The Speed»Increase and Speed»Decrease
menu selections (Ctrl + and Ctrl – shortcuts)
adjust the default step size used when panning
the camera. Each activation of the menu will
only adjust the speed setting by one notch, so it
is far more convenient to use the shortcut keys.
When adjusting the camera speed, a “volume
control” type bar will appear briefly in the
simulation window to show a relative measure
of the current step size.
The step size can be temporarily reduced, while panning, to 1/10 th the normal amount by holding
the Shift key.
