An M-View (Modeling View) is a user-defined view of entities which includes a profile of display parameters, section parameters, drafting parameters, etc. Visibility, orientation as well as section-lines can be defined for each view. These views can also be used later in the Drafting environment as D-Views (Drafting Views).

An M-View is created in either the Part or Assembly environments by selecting which Sets, components or faces it will contain or by manipulating the display parameters to define how the view appears.
