RIGHT to use the view cube - Go to start menu, all programs, autodesk then change graphics mode, go from direct x 10 to direct x9 - When 3d's max opens, go to Viewport config, and go to viewcube and select the viewcube :]

I figured it out, but Iget the same thing with other things too, like changing the bitmap texture size in viewports or the anti-aliasing, even in dx9 mode

i found out it is the DX 10 problem. if you run it in DX 10 mode. you get this problem. i dont know if they have released a patch for this or not.

i am using 3ds max 2010. i dont know whats going on. i cant see the viewcube. i go to Viewpoint configuration and check Show the Viewcube, then press ok. nothings happen, when go back to the setting, it is unchecked. no matter how many times i check, it just uncheck it.
