Select top, front or side view, rotate view with the cube in upperleft corner.

Open your User Camera Properties, and in Projection select Ortographic. Is that what you wanted?

Yes, thanks. But it is too circumventing effort for such simple thing, i don't understand why the xsi object explorer have an ortographic view in drop down menu but the user viewport doesn't.

The Object View's Orthographic menu is just a shortcut to toggle the Ortho/Perspective parameter on the current camera, and the top, Bottom, ... ,left menu item change the alignment of the currently selected camera. It's not super intuitive because those checkboxes will go out of sync if you change camera. But there is no "user" camera in the Object View. There only the Default camera, the scene cameras, and the spot lights.
