Create and Manage Saved Views
The Saved views tab in the Viewer activity center allows you to capture and return to specific model or sheet configurations. A saved view preserves how a model or sheet is displayed at a given moment, including camera position, visibility settings, or zoom level.
Saved views are available to other users with access to the viewer. You can create, update, rename, or delete saved views.
You can create and manage saved views if you have an Editor role or higher. If you have a Reader role, you can only view saved views created by other users.
