Getting the initial view and the last saved view

The initial view is the one set when the project begins, and the last saved view is the one set when the project file is opened or saved. It is useful to retrieve one of these view states, especially when you get lost after improper viewing transformations.

> Getting the initial view of the project

In order to get the initial view, select "Initial" item from submenu. The initial view is the one defined at the beginning of the project and is not altered by any viewing transformation including rotation, zooming and panning. The initial view is affected only by grid settings. For initial view, the grid factor is 1.0, and the rotation angles about X, Y and Z axes are 0.0.

> Getting the last saved view of the file

The data related to the viewing transformation and grid settings are saved together with the project file. The view data saved in the project file are retrieved when the

file is opened. You may obtained the saved view at any moment while working with a project file. If you save a file, the current view is also saved, and thus becomes the last saved view. The "Last Saved" item in submenu is enabled only after the project file has been saved at least once. The last saved view is obtained by selecting the menu item.
