the command
SOLVIEW places the viewport objects on the VPORTS layer, which it creates
if it does not already exist. The view-specific information that is saved with
each viewport you create is used by
SOLDRAW (page 988) to generate the final
drawing view.
SOLVIEW creates layers that SOLDRAW uses to place the visible lines and
hidden lines for each view, view name-VIS, view name-HID, view name-HAT,
and a layer where you can place dimensions that are visible in individual
viewports, view name-DIM.
WARNING The information stored on these layers is deleted and updated when
you run
SOLDRAW (page 988). Do not place permanent drawing information on
these layers.
UCS
Creates a profile view relative to a user coordinate system. If no viewports
exist in your drawing, the UCS option is a good way to create an initial
viewport from which other views can be created. All other SOLVIEW options
require an existing viewport.
You have the option of using the current UCS or a previously saved one as
the profile plane. The viewport projection is created parallel to the XY plane
of the UCS with the X axis facing right and the Y axis upward.
