# Camera Properties

## Function

Allows the user to select cameras saved with the drawing and modify the properties of a selected camera.

## Procedure

2. Select a camera from the Camera pull down

Or:

1. Use _ENTPROP to ensure entity properties are displayed on the left side of the drawing.
2. Select a camera icon from the drawing.

**Camera**: Select a camera by name from this pull down.

**Camera Name**: View or Edit the name for selected camera.

**Magnifying Glass icon**: Select to enable perspective view mode and set the current camera as your drawing view.

**Delete icon**: Select to delete current camera.

**Lens Length**: Modify the Lens Length of selected camera by typing a value in millimeters or adjusting the slider.

**Field of View**: The field of view property sets how wide and tall the view is. Field of view would be analogius to the size of a movie screen. Large simulates the Edit the Field of view property. Larger values equate to a wider view.

**Visual Styles**: Select the Visual style visible when the camera is selected.

**Background**: Set a colour, Gradient of colours or jpeg image to be displayed behind CAD entities.

**Display Camera**: Set option to display cameras icons in the drawing. If this option is off the camera will not be visible and can not be modified using grips.

**Camera**: Select whether to treat this camera as:

**Static**: View origin will be the exact X,Y,Z coordinates displayed.

**Witness View**: View origin X,Y,Z coordinates displayed will be modified by the vertical offset defined in "Witness Height." This allows simulation of eye height when developing a view from a map.

**Camera Name**: View or Edit the name for selected camera.

**X,Y,Z coordinates**: Coordinates of camera

**Witness Height**: (Displayed only for "Witness View" cameras) Set a vertical offset for the view origin. For example: Vertical distance from the ground to the center of the eye of a person whose view we are simulating.

**Roll Angle**: (Displayed only for "Static" cameras) Angular value to specify tilt of the camera from horizontal.

**X,Y,Z coordinates**: Coordinates of target.

**View Height**: (Displayed only when "Witness View" camera option selected) Set a vertical offset for the target. For example: Vertical distance from the ground to the object a witness reported viewing.

**Adjust**: Select camera or target to adjust coordinates

**Increment**: Set number of units that will be applied to X,Y or Z coordinate for each mouse click.

**Back/Forward**: Adjust camera to target distance by modifying coordinates of camera or target.

**Left/Right**: Adjust camera to target direction by modifying coordinates of camera or target.

**Down/Up**: Adjust camera to target vertical direction by modifying coordinates of camera or target.
