Rotate View Port

Kayaker,

No, there is no option to rotate the view port itself. You can easily rotate the whole model with 3-01.

You can change the size of the view port, but I don't know if that helps you?

He he, Kayaker - then somebody should hit me too, for not using D-cam sections first!

I also sometimes make 2D drawings first to decide how to make things, before I make them in 3D - because sometimes I am around 5+ different solutions before I hit the solution that satisfies my boss - and to make all these changes in 3D and then remake the 2D section drawings, will take longer time than to do it all in 2D. Another reason is that you may not want to make all layers and parts in 3D - and then you still have to draw these parts in 2D, to get a complete picture of the section drawing.

Yeah, I think it is sometimes easier to use the 2D approach to design a solution. But of course you will often not be able to count for every detail, how it will work in 3D. T.ex. if you make a cross section in two directions of a structure, that is a bit complicated - then it can be difficult to predict, how these two sections will act in the corner. But these detailed details, you will design in 3D, because it is often too difficult in 2D. Yes the 2D approach requires some work, but I think it is worth the effort. Because somehow one often "think" better in 2D.
