The new 'views' function is very helpful. However, it feels like there's a lot that could make it even more useful.
For example, Is it possible to swap an inserted "view" in paper space?
Say you have two floor plans that are identical in perimeter, and you have the first one laid out on a sheet. You duplicate the sheet to lay out the second plan.
Is there a way to select the existing viewports and simply change it to show a different saved view?
Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to set multiple inserted Views to the same paper space scale, while maintaining the viewport crop. You have to select each viewport and select scale from the dropdown grip in the center. Is this correct?

Hi @shingen_

Hi @maxim_k
Also, in regards to the viewport scale button on the bottom right, this only becomes an option for me if I "unlock" each view port. However, doing so removes the fixed crop of each viewport. The content is scaled, but the viewport stays the same. Whereas if you use the drawdown button at center, it maintains the crop, as it scales the content. Is there a way to do this with multiple viewports at once?
Hi@pendean
There doesn't seem to be a Help page for the "View" command in my software.
"Restore" worked fairly well, but seems impractical as you would need to memorize the name of your view and type it in (I'm working with dozens of saved views). Trying to eliminate unnecessary steps in laying out the sheets. Anyways, I appreciate the tip.
@maxim_k's screenshot with the "custom view" menu option seems more practical as it lists your saved views, but I don't see those options at the top of my viewport. Is this a full AutoCAD only function?
Thank you
Thanks for your previous comments.
I also had another question in regards to working with inserted "Saved Views" within a layout.
I am finding that lines from paper space that fall along the border of the viewport are obscured by the linetype of the viewport itself (Even with viewports on Defpoints layer). Thus an offset along the perimeter of the viewport necessary to properly represent the Saved View content.
Is there a way to specify an offset to the viewport to a specific measurement? Usually I have to click or stretch each side of the viewport to do this and type in a distance manually, but I was curious if there is a command to do this automatically?
