Displays objects so that two parallel lines in a drawing never con
verge at a single point. The shapes in your drawing always remain
the same and do not appear distorted when they are closer.
Perspective
Displays objects in perspective so that all parallel lines converge at
one point. Objects appear to recede into the distance, and parts of
the objects appear larger and closer to you. The shapes are some
what distorted when the object is very close. This view correlates
more closely to what your eye sees.
