Creating multiple camera views
 
 
 

You can split the viewer window into multiple camera views, as shown in the following figure. This provides you with up to four different angles on your scene and makes it easier to position cameras in your scene.

To split the Viewer window into multiple panes (camera views):

  1. Select View > Viewer Layout from the Viewer window View menu.
  2. Choose one of the four Viewer pane layouts as shown in the following figure (A).
    Noteou can also click in the Viewer window and press Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2, Ctrl-3, or Ctrl-4.

    Each pane can use a different camera view, so you can see your scene from different perspectives at the same time. You can also show the Schematic view in any of the Viewer window panes as shown in the following figure.
