Description

The Std ViewDimetric command realigns the camera in the active 3D view to obtain a dimetric view. For a truly dimetric view the 3D view must be in orthographic mode, but the command also works if the view is in perspective mode.

Usage

  1. Select the View → Standard views → Axonometric → Dimetric option from the menu.

Scripting

To change to dimetric view use the viewDimetric method of the ActiveView object. This method is not available if FreeCAD is in console mode.

import FreeCADGui
