In the WIP 5.2 I have seen some odd, but so far not reproducible behavior where the views are screwed up. I have seen the following:
Changing the view to NW/NE/SW/SE does not change the the title to “Parallel”.
After selecting an Isometric view, I have had occasions where I click on another view (e.g. Front) and the IsoMetric view displays. Id est, click either NW or Front displays NW.
I can get this to happen if I hit the space bar or press enter after switching to another view if the last action done was to change the view to one of the isometric projections. Could that be what’s happening on your end?
I changed the view to NW from the menu (what was top) in a new file and the view was still listed as “Top” in the four views.
I exited and restarted and the view was NW. However, I could not change the view using TOP/Perspective/Bottom. i then changed the view to NE. Then I was able to change it to Top or Perspective.
I am use 5C226W but am still seeing weirdness with isometric views. I was in perspective. Went to NW. OK.
From there I could not go to any other isometric view.
It looks like I cannot switch from one isometric view to another. I have to do isometric, something else, another isometric view,
Sorry @bigjimslade, I cannot reproduce this issue in the latest RhinoWIP. I’m sure I’m missing some critical step. Can you please provide a file and some clear steps to reproduce this?
