Description

Set 3Dview position and orientation based on three selected points.

The way this command behaves between the Design and 3D windows is important; the Design window does not support a non-orthogonal plane for digitizing/editing, whereas in 3Dyou can digitize to any previously defined section. As such, in the 3Dwindow, this command will create a new section plane and will not affect the view direction - setting the view direction in 3Dis possible using the view-by-three-points command.
