Save and Restore Views
When you save specific views by name, you can restore them for layout and
plotting or when you need to refer to specific details. You can create and save
views using the VIEWcommand.
A named view created with the VIEW command consists of a specific
magnification, position, and orientation. In each drawing session, you can
restore the last view displayed in each viewport and up to 10 previous views.
Named views are saved with a drawing and can be used any time. When you
are composing a layout, you can restore a named view to a viewport on the
layout.
Save a View
When you name and save a view, the following settings are saved:
■ Magnification, center point, and view direction
■ The location of the view (the Model tab or a specific layout tab)
■ Layer visibility in the drawing at the time the view is saved
■ User coordinate system
Restore a Named View
You restore a named view to the current viewport. You can use named views
to do the following:
■ Compose a layout.
■ Restore a view that you use frequently while you are working in model
space.
■ Control which model space view is displayed when the drawing is opened.
To restore the previous view
■ Click View tab ➤ Navigate panel ➤ Zoom drop-down ➤ Previous.
Zoom Previous restores only the view magnification and position, not the
previous content of an edited drawing.
