View Cube
Application Area:
The view cube controls the projection view of the object in the graphics window.
Toolkit:
Each side of the cube corresponds to a standard view: front, back, left, right, top, or bottom. The object displayed in the graphics window is conceptually placed inside the cube. The label on the cube represents the current standard view of the object. Click on any of the arrows with the left mouse button to set the corresponding view. For example, when in the front view, clicking the top arrow switches to the top view, the bottom arrow switches to the bottom view, the left arrow switches to the left view, and the right arrow switches to the right view. Clicking the arc arrow rotates the current view. The view cube also displays the coordinate axes corresponding to the orientation of the global coordinate system. When you are in a dynamic view. clicking on a label switches to the corresponding view.
