3D Viewing Studio Menu Screen
Overview
This screen allows you to view one
of the eight 3D objects created on the
3D Construction Screen. The object
displayed is the same as the one that
was last being edited. Using this
screen you can place the object at any
desired angle and plot the wire frame
result onto the current work screen.
See the 3D section and the tutorial
concerning this later in the manual. To
enter this screen you must click on the
View Obj item on the 3D Construction
