An alternative method to switch between standard views is to use the preset views list, which can be found in multiple locations. Starting with the 3D Basics workspace, it located in the Layers & View panel in the Home tab, as shown in the following figure:

The same list can also be found in the 3D Basics workspace on the Named Views panel in the View tab. And if you are on the 3D Modeling workspace, you can find the preset views list at three different locations. The first location is in the View panel in the Home tab, as shown in the following figure:

The last two locations of the preset view list are in the Named Views panel in the Visualize tab, or in the Named Views panel in the View tab.

The preset view list contains the six standard plan views (Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Left, and Right), in addition to which you have four standard isometric views named using the cardinal direction letters (NW, NE, SW, and SE).

As you can see, the preset views list is an alternative method to quickly switch between the standard views that are already found in the ViewCube, as discussed in the previous sub-section. The additional option that can't be implemented using the ViewCube is the creation and use of custom view angles, which we will look at now.
