Customize drawing profiles
You can use the Projected Axes docker to create and edit drawing profiles. The Projected Axes docker features a real-time preview of a cube, which represents the projected axes and scales for the chosen drawing profile. When you change drawing profiles, or when you modify the projected axes or scales, the preview is automatically updated.
The Projected Axes docker allows you to set the degree offsets for the x, y, and z axes. For information on how these offsets are calculated, see About projected drawing modes. The Projected Axes docker also allows you to set a scale factor for each axis. For example, if you use a drawing profile with a scale of 50% on the x-axis, projected objects will display at half their original size along their x-axis.
You can create a customized drawing profile from an existing one. You can also edit preset and custom drawing profiles, or you can delete them altogether.
You can also customize a drawing profile interactively so that you can draw on a specific projected drawing plane. For more information, see Define a projected drawing plane interactively.
When you work on customized drawing planes, you can bookmark the custom drawing profile in the drawing window. Using the bookmark, you can easily activate the custom drawing file later to continue drawing on the custom drawing plane. For more information, see Bookmark custom drawing profiles.

You can create a custom axonometric drawing profile by having the application calculate the scale values automatically. To do this, type values in the X Axis Angle, Y Axis Angle, and Z Axis Angle boxes, and enable the Auto axonometric check box. Note that the Auto axonometric check box may be disabled for some angle values. In such cases, you first need to adjust the angle values so that the option becomes available.
