One of the first things you will notice when you start Civil 3D 2012, is the new view options you will see in the top left of model space as seen in the screen capture below.
The first option we will look at is [-] or the viewport option. As seen in the capture below, this option allows us to control the number of viewports being displayed and there configuration. It also allows for the display of the tools such as the viewcube and navigation bar.
The second option we will look at is view. This gives us the option of setting the perspective of the current view. In the example below, the current view is set to top.
The third option we will look at is view style. This gives us the option of setting what visual styles we are currently displaying. Notice that along with the visual styles, the manager is available to make modifications to the styles on the fly.
Finally, if you choose to get to these options through more traditional ways, such as the view menu or ribbon, you can turn off the viewport control options on the 3D modeling tab as seen below.
The use of this new tool should allow for time savings when switching between various views styles and perspectives all from a single location.
