Control-Left-Arrow

Whilst in paper space, in an attempt to pan dynamically, I accidentally held down the control key and the left mouse button, which "skewed-up" the crosshairs, UCS icon, and viewport. (The entities in Model Space remain in plan view.) The commands I attempted to use to get everything back to zero responded with a "...not available in Paper Space" message. It's a 2D drawing. How do I get everything back to good ol' Plan view?

Select - Paperspace( Tilemode off)
Type -> View – Save – myname
Open IntelliCAD Explorer and select views
Select myname (ie myname is highlighted)
Select – Edit – Properties from Pull Down Menu
Select View Lens Tab
Twist Angle = 0
Lens Angle = 0
Select View Target Tab
Target Point = 0,0,1 (ie View from ‘Z’ Axis)
When back in Paperspace( Tilemode off)
Type -> View – Restore – myname
This is all part of the dynamic views (DVIEW) that you can play with however, I think this was not available in ACAD paperspace in the early days and hence it is a disabled command.
When orbital views entered the CAD scene Twist Angles and Target Views became available in paperspace and they are fun to play with. You can set the view using the Real Time Sphere and use View – Save - ? to save numerous named views. Try using the Script Recording to loop through some views.
