Lock Views 2D/3D

Post by christo »

Can someone please tell me how to lock the 2d/3d views to scale so that I can compare after rendering toolpath. Thanks

One way (there are multiple ways to do the same thing) is to click in the 2D window and press F and then click in the 3D window and press F. Both windows will zoom to the same level.

If you want to match to your own custom zoom then you have to that manually.

Does not quite do what I want... I need to magnify and be able to toggle between views (at the exact same scale) to check any variances... any ideas?

There's no way of doing that automatically AFAIK. You would have to zoom to the level you want manually. Rather than toggling the views you may find it easier, if your screen is large enough, to tile the views by pressing the PageUp or PageDown keys (or using the View menu).
