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:

I had a quick play with this and this shows what I think would work..
rotate round Z by 39.14 degrees and then back about the Y by 22.05 degrees.
see what you think

I do not understand the task here.
If you right click the graphics, there is "orient view" where there is a Trimetric orientation.
you want to rotate a non-trimetric to ... which is exactly what the "orient view" will do, it rotates the active view into this preset orientation.
"Replace view" does something different, it replaces the view instead of rotating it.

So ?
