Oops – you forgot the 'Look at working plane' button in the view bar in VW 2024.

[Kaare Baekgaard]

When I reached for it, I got the 'align working plane to view' which look deceptively similar.

 

I never use that, because I work almost exclusively in the 'legacy' screen plane mode.

 

But I do use the 'Look at working plane' button quite often.

 

Please put it back as soon as possible.

 

(I put quotation marks around 'legacy' because it remains the only dependable mode for freeform drawing, so please do not remove stuff that enables this mode)

Thanks, but I use the numerical keyboard for standard views.

 

Here is where it goes:

I think this is a good place to have it but at the same time it would be nice to have the option to have a dedicated button for it in the view bar as well as per previous versions so it can be one click instead of two

I don't know what the exact rationale is for the menu option. However, there is always the menu command to which you can add a short cut as well as a Right-Click Working Plane menu option if that is how you like to roll.

 

Personally, I find going to the View Bar a bit of a chore and use a keyboard shortcut to activate the command instead.

All good points. But still be nice to have the option of customising the View Bar + filling up some of the empty space with a button for this (plus a button for Show Organisation Palette).

I agree - the single button was very direct.

 

An added functionality of Shift-Cmd-1 Click to both set & Look @ WP in one single step would be über helpful too.

Or even a preference for the tool - so you could choose the default behaviour.

I agree. I use the numeric keypad for views, too, so I never touch this menu. The "Look at Working Plane" should go back where it was. Is there an assignable "hot key" for this while we wait for its return?

Bump. Can I get some forthcomingness on this issue from someone working at VW?

[EAlexander]

Please - give us an option to dock this to the view bar.

[MGuilfoile]

Bump...again. this needs to be put back or establish a way to put it in one of the existing palettes.
