Tip
 The window which has the cursor over it, is the active window.
 Numpad shortcuts are applicable only for 3D view window.

Perspective / Orthographic
 When the human eye views a scene, objects
in the distance appear smaller than objects
close by - this is known as perspective.
 While orthographic projection ignores this
effect to allow accurate measurements,
perspective projection shows distant objects
as smaller to provide additional realism.
 Orthographic projection allows the creation
of to-scale drawings for construction and
engineering.
