Saving and Restoring Views by Name

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.

Saving a View

When you save a view, the following settings are saved:

• View magnification, view location, and 3D view position
• Whether the view is in model space or paper space
• 3D perspective and clipping

Restoring a View

You restore a named view to the current viewport. You can use named views to

• Specify a view in a tiled viewport or a floating viewport
• Specify a sheet in a paper space layout
• Specify an area for plotting
• Determine the initial view when opening a drawing
