Switching Charts Between 2-D and 3-D Views

Charts on a frame can be switched from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, or three-dimensional to two-dimensional views, by clicking (2-D) or (3-D) on the dashboard top panel. The button varies depending on whether a two-dimensional or three-dimensional chart is displayed. The feature is available only if Allow 2D/3D Switching is set for the frame in Step 4: Associate Frames with Charts, Pivots, or Tables. If the frame does not contain an embedded chart, the feature is unavailable.

The Spotlight feature takes precedence over this feature. Therefore, you cannot switch a spotlighted chart from 2-D to 3-D. See the Chart Spotlighter Feature.

The switching charts between two-dimensional and three-dimensional views feature works with the Checkpoint control to store or restore the chart view on frames, section by section. See Using Checkpoint Control.
