    Hi, I know how to change from 1st to 3rd, but your drawing looks the same in both figures. I was expecting to see the front in the lower left, the right view to the lower right and the top view directly above the front view? Am I missing some thing?
    Thanks, David

    Thanks for this tutorial, do you have some tutorial for simulation (drop, rotary motor due to transmision, deflection simulation, bending, attraction simulation) but I need books, or E-book.
    thanks a lot.
