OK, I have a 3d steel plate drafted in AutoCAD 2005. I use the 3 point UCS
icon to move my UCS to the position where I can draw in the same plane as
the plate but I cant remember how to get AutoCAD (or if it can) save a view
of this location and show it to me so that I am looking directly
perpendicular to the plate. The problem is that it is at an angle to the x,y
and z plane so it completely skewed in all planes so I want to be able to
look directly at it regardless of which way is up or down...I use my 3d
orbit but it is hard to tell if I am looking perpendicular to it..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Kirk

The PLAN command will set the current UCS parallel to the viewing plane.

To save a particular UCS or View, just use the UCS or VIEW command with the
Save option.

in 2k:
View|3dViews|Plan View|Current UCS
... or something like that.
