Viewpoint Compass

Hi,

I am creating an application that has a pretty large CAD model and when the users are navigating through the model there have been complaints that they are losing track of where they are in the model. I want to create a "you-are-here" type window that the user can pop up on the screen.

I have been experimenting with addWindow() and addView() to get a top down view of the environment. I would like to be able to insert an arrow over this window that follows the position and orientation of the main viewpoint. Is this possible?

Thanks!
