1 . Click the Retain View icon, which is pictured above. The icon can be found on the Layout page > Navigate section.

Alternative: Invoke Retain View using the Find Tool by searching the command name and clicking the icon, which is pictured above.

2 . Your current view is now retained in memory. The status line informs you how many views have been retained and which view you have just retained. Up to 20 views may be retained in Modeling .
  • Previous Retained View and Next Retained View can be used to access the retained view that you have saved using Retain View. This means you can quickly get the view you want without having to go through a procedure such as accessing a particular erection view then performing zoom operations, centering the display, adjusting depth checking, etc. All this information is in the retained view.
  • Up to 20 views may be saved and recalled during your currrent Modeling or Drawing Editor session.
  • When you retain a view, the program stores with that view its physical dimensions as well as information such as depth checking . For instance, if you save a zoomed-in view of a particular connection you are working on, you return to being zoomed into that same connection when you recall that retained view.
  • You may use any of Modeling 's functions that are available in a normal erection view to alter the 3D model from a retained view.
  • Retained views cannot be detailed .
  • When you exit Modeling or open a new drawing in the Drawing Editor , retained views are forgotten.
