Saved Views

The Dynamic Viewer and the Streaming Viewers both provides end users with the Saved Views feature for restoring 3D scene views of one or more 3D CAD models.

The end users can create custom Saved Views to preserve the current View state as discussed in the Creating Saved Views section. When creating a Saved View for a 3D scene view, the following functions applied to this 3D scene view are saved with the Saved View: the selected Dynamic View Definition, applied Parameter Values, selected View Mode, added parts and assemblies, and the current camera position.

Some view parameters cannot be saved and restored; for example, the display style, exploded increment, measurements, and cutting planes.

At any time in the future, end users can apply an existing Saved View to a 3D scene to restore their digital mockup or favorite viewing position as discussed in the Restoring Saved Views section. When restoring a Saved View for a 3D scene view, the abovementioned saved functions are re-applied to the scene.

However, a restored 3D scene view is not guaranteed to match the original 3D scene view because a Saved View includes only input information for a Query Definition which execution may return a different result set.

Saved Views given to a CAD Document will remain associated with all versions of this CAD Document.

End users can delete unnecessary Saved Views as discussed in the 6.6.3 Deleting Saved Views section.
