Viewport Macro tip for working in 3D

[claus]

When drawing in 3D, it is a very good idea to break the screen up in 2, and make the rig th or left one isometric, for the better view in 3D. Also so you can swift to the isometric without loosing any command in progress.

Make a new icon in the tool palette and write this in the command string under properties.

It is also a good idea to have another to switch back to one view.
