Lack of 3D View / Render modes when editing a 3D symbol

[Andrew Davies]

Hi

 

I have often wondered why, when editing a 3D symbol, you lose the Front, Back , Left etc view options from the drop down list - along with rendering modes.  Even view plane is greyed out.  

 

I am stuck in wireframe.

 

Am I missing something?

EDIT - noticed I have standard view choices available from the main menu - just not the drop down menu  No other render options though

If you are editing a symbol whilst a sheet layer is the active layer then that  is the case. If you are editing from a design layer then you should have the ability to edit in OpenGL as well as see all the various built in view presets . Is that not the case for you?

Thanks you so much Mark and oh I love this forum!

That was it.  Is that a bug or as designed?

Thanks again

Ha. No problem. I sense that it is “as designed”, but there has been quite a lot of debate elsewhere on this forum whether the “as designed” nature of it is “fit for purpose”!
