Menu: Draw ➤ Modeling ➤ Setup ➤ View
Summary
This command automates the manual process of creating views, layers, and
layout viewports for 3D models. For ongoing work, it is recommended that
you create drawing template (DWT) files customized for 3D.
NOTE SOLVIEW must be run on a layout tab. If the Model tab is current, the last
active layout tab is made current.

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 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. Do not place permanent drawing information on these layers.
NOTE SOLVIEW is defined by the acsolids.arx application and is intended to be
used only interactively.
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.
