3D Visualization Shortcuts

0 Rotates the 3D view so that the camera perspective is perpendicular to the board and will rotate the board so that the horizontal plane (X-axis) runs along the bottom of the editing window (at 0° rotation)
9 Rotates the 3D view so that the camera perspective is perpendicular to the board and will rotate the board so that the horizontal plane (X-axis) runs along the right side of the editing window (at 90° rotation)
2 From 3D switches to 2D using last used 2D view configuration
3 From 2D switches to 3D using last used 3D view configuration
SHIFT Access the 3D rotational sphere. With the sphere displayed, Right-Click and drag to change the orientation of the view
