CAD tip # 11936:

Question CAD
% platform category

	Why does AutoCAD display an oblique (skewed) plan view and a red-green crosshair?
	AutoCAD suddenly displays a skewed underlay grid and the ortho mode in a plan view draws diagonal, oblique lines: Yoh have probably set an ISO-view - an isometric drawing mode. See the AutoCAD status line icon and see the command `ISODRAFT` or the variable `SNAPSTYL`.
