Orient a View

You can orient a view to six axis orientations (XY, YX, YZ, ZY, XZ, ZX), or to a user defined isometric perspective. The orientation of a view can be selected by right-clicking in the view and using the Orient context menu, or by opening the Camera dialog from the context menu (or the toolbar using the Camera button) and selecting a System Camera from the list.
