# New view


Used to generate custom views so that the orientation of the 3D annotations can be different from the base view.

The steps are as follows:

  1. Click on the New view command and the New View dialog box will pop up. Create a new view in the same way as the datum.

  1. The new view is placed in the View panel - Custom View, named "View 1.2.3..." by default.
  2. Right-click a newly created custom view in the view panel and you can "activate, direct only, rename, delete, show/hide associated PMI".
  3. When deleting, if the existing 3D annotation is based on the current view to be deleted, it will prompt you whether to select "Delete associated PMI at the same time".
  4. The newly created views appear in the "View Direction" command in the middle of the viewport, and are listed in order (the ICONS are similar to cameras).

Note:The newly created view is only used to define the annotation direction, and cannot be used as a reference level.
