Named Views
You have the ability to create and name views for use later within a workspace. Named views capture the perspective, the zoom scale, and the orientation of the current view.
To create a view and name it in order to retrieve it for later use:
- Rotate your model into the desired view. For example:
- Optionally, select Turn perspective on, and/or Zoom to fit. You may also section the view (Turn section view on) and adjust the sectioning.
Perspective view shows the relative distance from the point of view to the model, and creates a vanishing point as the point of view (or imaginary camera) approaches the model.
- Access the View Tools menu and select Named views:
- In the dialog, enter a name for the view in the first field:
- Click the plus sign icon.
- Notice the view (name) is saved in the next field:
You may create as many named views as you want, per workspace.
To delete a named view:
- Select the view in the second field:
- Click the icon.
To open the Named views dialog, use the shortcut keys: Shift+v. This opens the dialog next to the View dropdown cube, unless the Named views dialog has been previously repositioned. If it has, it opens in its former location.
If the graphic is in a position that matches a named view at the time the Named view dialog is opened, that view will automatically be selected in the dialog's dropdown menu.
