Keyboard: EXPVIEWS

Alias: DDVIEW

Displays the Explorer with the View Name list displayed. You can view, create, copy, or edit views.

As you work on a drawing, you may find that you frequently switch among different portions of it. For example, if you are drawing the floor plan of a house, you may zoom in to particular rooms of the house and then zoom out to display the entire house. Although you can repeat the Pan and Zoom commands to do this, it is much easier to save various views of the drawing as named views. You can then quickly switch between these views. You can save and later restore named views using either the View command or the Views element in the Explorer.

With View Direction, you can quickly change your viewpoint by entering new x-, y-, and z-coordinates. You can edit View Direction by single-clicking on the coordinates and typing new coordinates.
