I miss my Compass...

Hello all,

Well, i am now the proud owner of Maya 2008. :attn:

But, i have a problem... i miss my compass :hug:

The new view cube is brilliant, for what it does, but it doesn't actually give you "Proper" view, such as the side view is not actually a side view, in the fact that your still in a perspective mode as opposed to an Orthographic.

So I've been getting by using the space bar and toggling between view, and of course utilizing the view cube for it's advantages, but now I've ran into a problem. If i want a back view i can't just hit the back view om my cumpass any more, so i have to go through the Panels and preferred book marks just to change to view that isn't in the space bar (or at least not within fast access of the space bar.)

So i was wondering if anyone knew of a way to toggle on and off the compass, as i can't find a way, even if there isn't a way, and the compass doesn't exist anymore. Does someone know how i might create a Marking menu that would allow me fast access to all the different view at the click of a button.

Well, i hope you understand what I'm getting at, and i could really use some help right now user added image

Thank you, user added image
