About View Orientation in Figures
A view orientation is the angle of the figure in the graphics area. There are 10 standard view orientations. You can add, edit, and delete view orientations in the Custom View Orientations dialog box. These changes are immediately implemented in the Orientation list. The Undo and Redo mechanism is available when updating the view orientations list. Although by default view orientations are global, you can set a view orientation relative to a coordinate system.
