  You can go home again...
  April 25, 2008, 06:36 AM Jay Tedeschi

  If Inventor 2009’s new view manipulation controls prove anything it is that you can go home again… in fact, you are going to have to.  Gone is the “Iso View” from the Right Click menu…

  

  Previous versions of Inventor allowed the user to use the “glass box” to set any of the 8 possible Isometric view projections of the model as the “Iso View”. This could then be restored at any time via either the F6 key or the Right Click/Iso View menu selection.  Inventor 2009 allows users to store ANY view as what we now call the “Home View”. Quite simply this is achieved via the little “Home” icon positioned to the upper left of the “View Cube”, which itself is a new addition to 2009.

  If the user hovers above the Home icon, and right clicks, a specific view control menu appears, and among these commands is an option to set the current view as “Home”. 

  

  There are additional options available which allow the user to set a fixed distance or have the view always fit to the screen.
