Basic viewing operations
Quick-access viewing commands are conveniently located at bottom-right of the window frame, on the status bar.
Some commands are always available regardless of the environment. These commands help you adjust how you view the model by changing the extent of the model contained in the view, the orientation of the model, or the type of shading.
Additional view manipulation tools are available as you design or modify your 3D model in the Part, Sheet Metal, and Assembly environments.
To see how you can use these tools, watch the User interface basics video, which is available when you click the following icon on the QY CAD startup screen:
