View Cube
The view cube is displayed at the bottom right of the viewport and shows the orientation of the camera in 3D space. You can interact with the view cube to align the camera to look against the direction of the selected axis. You may also toggle the projection method of the camera lens.
Camera Direction
Left click on an axis of the view cube to align the camera to look against the direction of that axis. For example, click on the +Y axis to look in the -Y direction.
Camera Projection
Right click on the view cube to toggle the camera lens between pespective and orthographic projection. The orthographic view is useful if you are looking to precisely position parts. The camera lens uses perspective projection by default.
