The View Angle»Increase and View Angle»
Decrease menu selections (Shift + and Shift –
shortcuts) adjust the viewing angle of the
camera lens. Each activation of the menu will
only adjust the viewing angle by one notch, so
it is far more convenient to use the shortcut
keys. The viewing angle is used in Perspective
mode only.
When adjusting the angle, a viewing angle size
indicator will appear briefly in the simulation
window.

The default viewing angle is 40 degrees. Increasing the viewing angle makes it possible to see
more of the model, at the expense of some distortion. Decreasing the viewing angle makes it
possible to look at the model in fine detail, but makes it a little harder to navigate.
Simulation»Camera»Load (Ctrl 0-9)
Simulation»Camera»Save (Ctrl Alt 0-9)
The Camera Save menu selection (Ctrl Alt 0 through Ctrl Alt 9 shortcuts) records the current
camera viewpoint, position and orientation in one of 10 standard user-defined viewpoints. The
Camera Load menu selection (Ctrl 0 through Ctrl 9 shortcuts) resets the camera to a previously
saved position. The camera can directly switch to the new position, or it can smoothly interpolate
to the new position, if both the old and new positions share the same underlying viewpoint (i.e.,
both are perspective views, or both are front views). The Camera animation mode can be set
from the Simulation»Options “use camera animation” check box.
Simulation»Camera»Reset
The Camera Reset menu entry resets all camera settings and moves the camera to an application
default viewpoint. The reset operation also removes all saved camera viewpoints and resets the
camera speed and viewing angle to the application defaults.
