camera look

[wolver1ne]

Middle click on one of the X/Y/Z buttons on the object view menu bar. That way you will get left/bottom/back views in a viewport.

Note that this feature is relative. If you have nothing selected, then it will do exactly what wolver1ne said. However, if you have something selected and you press those buttons, then the camera will change according to the orientation of the object's center.

You can see this by executing the following in the script editor:

CreatePrim "Cube", "MeshSurface"
SetDisplayMode "Camera", "shaded"
SetDisplayMode "Camera", "wireframe"
Rotate , -51.7264149314542, 0, 0, siRelative, siGlobal, siCtr, siXYZ
SetDisplayMode "Views.ViewC.FrontCamera", "shaded"

Basically it creates a cube and rotates its center. Then in the front view, middle-click on the XYZ buttons and you'll see what I mean.
