Description

The Std StoreWorkingView command stores the camera settings of the current view in a temporary, 3D view specific, working view. Such a view can be recalled with the Std RecallWorkingView command.

A working view belongs to the 3D view it was created in, it can only be used in that 3D view and will be lost when the 3D view is closed. For each 3D view only one working view can exist, storing a new working view will overwrite the previous working view.

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Select the View → Standard views → Store working view option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: Shift+End.

Scripting
