Std FreezeViews

Introduction
FreeCAD can store camera settings in up to 50 'frozen views' for future use. The menu options that deal with frozen views can be found in the submenu. They all use the Std FreezeViews command (with a different parameter).

Frozen views are not stored in the document and, if not saved with the Save views... menu option, will be lost when the FreeCAD application closes.
