Graphic View toolbar
The Graphic View toolbar (View | Toolbars | Graphic View) changes how your part is displayed inside the Graphic Display window.
Many of these icons act the same as if you had used the View Setup dialog box to affect the view. For information on setting up your views, see the "Setting up the Screen View" topic in the "Editing the CAD Display" chapter.
If you configured the Graphic Display window to show more than one view, some icons affect only the blue pane in the Views area of the View Setup dialog box.
For example, if you divided your screen into three views by using this icon from the View Setup dialog box:
This toolbar contains the following icons:
