When this mode is selected, all of the input operations you perform using the mouse will apply to the view plane, according to the following rules:

1	The view plane is parallel to the screen and is through the origin of the Work Plane.
2	A point freely specified using the mouse just by clicking somewhere (from now on: free points: points entered with no snap command or further constraint) is created on a plane that is parallel to the view plane at the Depth: distance.
3	If a point is specified using a snap command, than the view plane is through the snapped point and parallel to the screen. All free points specified afterwards — within the same command — will lie on a plane that is parallel to the view plane at the depth distance.
4	After a rotation, the orientation of the view plane changes accordingly.
5	When a command is quitted, the view plane is reset as described at point 1.
