Create Saved View

Used to name and describe the view that you are saving.

You can access this tool from the following:

Ribbon: Drawing > View > Saved Views
Ribbon: Modeling > View > Saved Views
Ribbon: Visualization > View > Saved Views
Toolbox: Saved View

Setting	Description
Method	Allows you to choose the method of creating the saved view: From View - Area of the saved view is taken from view window. By Two Points - Area of the saved view is determined by selecting two points in the view window. Note: When working in 3D, the Z-depth of the saved view is defined by the display depth of the active view.
View Type	Allows you to select either a saved view or one of the dynamic view types.
Name	Text field that lets you provide a name for the saved view.
Description	Optional text field that lets you provide a description of the saved view.
Create Drawing	If on, the Create Drawing dialog opens after creating the saved view. This dialog is used for automating dynamic views. `NAMEDVIEW` `DYNAMICVIEWOPTION` < `ON` \| `OFF` \| `TOGGLE` >
Clip Volume	Select (From View) or the named boundaries from the drop-down list to allow the clip volume to be used. Note: A named boundary is created when you save a fence from the Place Fence tool or the Clip Volume tool.
Associative	Lets you associate a clip volume with the saved view. Note: Modifying the clip volume also adjusts the saved view.

Note: As of the MicroStation V8i edition, the view_type parameter can also be used with the NAMEDVIEW SAVE key-in. You can specify any view type that is available in the View Type field.

Note: The difference between the NAMEDVIEW CREATE and NAMEDVIEW SAVE key-ins is that NAMEDVIEW CREATE opens the Create Saved View tool settings window, whereas the NAMEDVIEW SAVE key-in directly creates a saved view with given arguments.
