I usually try to keep the tips to
basic commands and techniques, but I will address a very good visual trick
for the more advanced 3D users this week.
When drawing or viewing 3D objects in
any shade mode other than 2D wireframe, turn on the grid in your drawing.
This will give you a very distinct visual aid to where the X,Y plane is.
The grid, which shows the LIMITS of a drawing can be changed to a larger or
smaller spacing if need be. Right-click on the GRID button at the
bottom of your screen, choose Settings and open the Snap and Grid tab to
access the grid spacing boxes.
The visual grid can also be resized
by re-setting your limits with a couple of mouse clicks or by typing in
Cartesian coordinates as needed. Make sure you are in the World
coordinate system, to play it safe, when doing this! Don't change the base
point of 0,0,0 either. The 0,0,0 setting will allow you to use
relative Cartesian coordinates in any UCS plane other than World.
