Save / Retrieve a Model

You can save and recall views for a model. Saved views are model dependent, so any views you save stay with the model. A saved view includes information, such as the current view angle, zoom state, pan location, plot option settings, etc. Saved views do NOT include the selection state for the model. You can save selection states separately (see Save Selections).
