Using camera hotkeys in shaded view

To help you quickly switch from one Camera to another, Number/Numpad keys 1 through 9 are now automatically assigned to new Cameras as you create them.

Hotkeys are assigned in ascending order (starting with 1 for the first Camera you create, 2 for the next one, and so on, all the way to 9).

To use camera hotkeys
  1. On the number pad of your keyboard, ensure that the NUM LOCK is activated.
  2. In WYSIWYG, click to view your drawing in a Shaded view.
  3. On the Number Pad of your keyboard, use the numbers associated with the Cameras in your drawing to switch quickly from one Camera to another.

Tip: Use the 0 key to quickly reset the Camera toolbar drop-down list to World camera, then click the Reset button to reset to the default Camera World view.
