View Toolbar
The standard orthogonal views on the SolidWorks Standard Views
toolbar are equivalent to AutoCAD® software's
views. Rather than the compass-oriented isometric views, SolidWorks uses
Isometric, Trimetric,
and Dimetric
orientations. Normal To is a view
perpendicular to any selected face or plane, equivalent to a plan view.
