Determine Current Model View Angles

[Wombat Sal]

I'm trying to replicate the stock NX Trimetric view.

What I really need to know is how much I need to rotate about the X, Y, and Z axis to create the "Trimetric" view beginning from the "Front" view



I have a small structure modeled in space that does not align with the global CSYS. This structure is part of a much larger installation, so I can't reorient the global CSYS to match my structure.

Thus, the stock "Trimetric" view does not create a trimetric view of my structure. However, I am required to create some trimetric views of my structure. At the present, I can't figure out how to extract the trimetric angles of the view.

Drafting: define a view - Siemens: UG/NX

In drafting, is there a way to take an arbitrary view of the part and define it as the 'front' view then generate a trimetric view from that? I seem to remember reading about some feature like this in either the NX5 or 6 marketing literature, but cannot find anything in the help files. I am...

The post by John Baker gives the angles that NX uses for its trimetric views.

Also, there is a journal on the Siemens community forum that may help you:
