3D Drawing View Mode
3D drawing view mode lets you rotate a drawing view out of its plane
so you can see components or edges obscured by other entities. The 3D
drawing view causes temporary changes to a drawing view. It is used to
make geometry selection in a drawing view easier.
When you rotate a drawing view in 3D drawing view mode, you can save
the orientation
for another model view to use in a drawing. 3D drawing view mode is particularly
helpful when you want to select an obscured edge for the depth of a broken-out
section view.
3D drawing view mode is not available for
detail, broken, crop, empty, or detached views.
To manipulate a drawing view in 3D drawing view mode:
With a drawing view selected, click 3D
Drawing View 
(View toolbar) or View,
Modify, 3D
Drawing View.
A pop-up toolbar appears with Rotate
selected. If the drawing view contains annotations, the
annotations are hidden when you rotate the view. You cannot insert annotations
while in 3D drawing view mode.
Use the tools on the
pop-up toolbar to manipulate the drawing view as necessary.
To create a new view
orientation, press the spacebar, then add a named view in the Orientation dialog
box. This view orientation will be available under More
views in the Model
View PropertyManager the next time you insert a model view.
Click Exit
in the pop-up toolbar.
The drawing view returns to its original
orientation.
