Save and Restore Views
A specific magnification, position, and orientation is known as a view. You
can easily restore the last view displayed in each viewport. It is often easier
to restore a previous view than to redefine the view. You can restore up to 10
previous views in a viewport. These views include not only zoomed views but
also views that have been panned, restored, or set to perspective or plan view.
Previous views are not retained when you exit the current drawing session.
To recall a view across several sessions, you can save the view by name with
your drawing.
Some views are used frequently. To save time, you can save specific views by
name and then restore them for plotting or when you need to refer to specific
details. You can also list all saved views in a drawing along with information
about each view. If you no longer need a saved view, you can delete it. The
number of views that can be saved in a drawing is practically unlimited.
Save a View
When you save a view, the following settings are saved:
■ View magnification, view location, and 3D view position
■ Whether the view is on the Model tab or a layout tab
■ 3D perspective and clipping
