This menu contains commands for setting up and controlling viewports. For ease of use, some of the commands found on this menu also appear on the viewport label menus.

NoteThe following commands, also influencing viewport behavior, are accessed from a different menu:

Units Setup Dialog

Viewport Lighting and Shadows

  • Auto Display Selected Lights When on, light from selected lights is automatically displayed in shaded viewports. Default=off.

    This option is equivalent to the same option in the Lighting And Shadows tab for viewport configuration: changing the setting here changes the active setting in the preferences dialog, and vice versa.

  • Lock Selected Lights Locks the selected lights.

    To “lock” a light means that the light will stay on until it is unlocked, whether or not the light casts shadows. When a light is locked, choosing Display Only Selected Lights or Auto Display Selected Lights does not turn it off.

  • Unlock Selected Lights Unlocks the selected lights.
