Thanks.

Go to a free toolbar-place (for example next to the time-indicator), right click on it and choose "View > Views".

That will activate the correct toolbar for you. Anyway I would suggest to get another keyboard with a number-pad or get an additional number-pad. It is just so much easier and faster.

 

See you

I don't have a number pad either on my Macbook Pro but It's quit easy to setup your own custom keyboard shortcuts to replicate it.

In A:M go to: Customise > Keyboard and start making shortcuts.

On mine I have assigned the view options to the arrow keys in conjunction with one or two moderator keys.

I chose the arrow keys because they actually give a sort of visual representation on the keyboard of Left, Right, Front etc…

Here's my list;

 

VIEW = KEYBOARD SHORTCUT

Back = Control Command Up

Bird's Eye = Control Up

Bottom = Control Down

Camera = Command Shift Down

Front = Command Down

Left = Command Left

Light = Control Command Right

Right = Command Right

Top = Command Up

-In the Tools>Customize window you can create new tool bars and arrange the "View" buttons to mimic the numberpad arrangement:

 

 

-you could reassign some unused keys on your keyboard to behave as the number pad

UIO

JKL

M

 

perhaps with CTRL or ALT

 

 

- In the view window you can >Views> to choose a view

You could even reassign some already-used keys if there are shortcuts you don't use a lot. I recently reassigned my L key to Lock instead of Lathe, since I use the former much more than the latter. It's really great to have that flexibility.
