Editing views of 3D objects
In Canvas, you can place a 2D view of a 3D object in your document. After you've placed the object,
you can edit the view, adjusting the orientation, rotation, zoom, and lighting of the object.
This feature works best with the latest video card drivers. If an object is slow to load,
consider updating your video card driver.
