Erm...
Is it me or is the “left” view in MLCad wrong?
It is looking left but at the right side of the model.
Thanks

Hello, all. I’m a new poster to this newsgroup, usually just a lurker. This
discussion caught my eye and I wanted chime in. Perhaps the reason the LEFT view
appears wrong is due to the orthographic projection scheme used by
MLCad--First-Angle vs. Third-Angle. The two schemes are quite different in how
they present an object. I believe that first-angle is the standard in Europe and
third-angle is more prevalent in the States.
A good explanation of the differences can be found here:

| (...) Hmm, maybe. But in both first- and third-angle projections, the central view/projection shows the same side of the object. In the case of MLCAD, when you choose 'front view', you are shown the front of the model. Same for top, bottom, and back (...) (19 years ago, 7-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)
