In Canvas

In Canvas is a viewport control for View, Viewport, and Visual Styles. If you have used 3ds Max before, this feature will look familiar. It has been in 3ds Max for several releases. But will be very helpful in AutoCAD to have the same kind of functionality.

Located in the upper left corner of each viewport, this is a quick access tool to change settings within the viewport. See image above.
