How do you put a perspective view on a drawing?
The icon that changes display mode to "Perspective" within parts and assemblies is not available within the drawing environment, however it is possible to place a perspective view into a drawing. To show a drawing view with perspective (so the part appears tapered toward a vanishing point on the horizon), you need to create a custom view in the model file (part or assembly).
1. Open the model.
2. Go to View - Display - Perspective.
3. Zoom/Pan/Rotate to position the model as you wish.
4. Hit the spacebar to bring up the View Orientation dialog box.
5. Click the icon that looks like a blue telescope with an orange starburst behind it. This allows you to save the current view settings in the file. Type in a name for your custom view.
6. Create or open a drawing of the part/assembly.
7. Choose Insert - Drawing View - Model View, and choose your custom view name from the list of possible views to place on the sheet.
