How to save a 3D Camera View position

[AidanHawkins]

Is there any way to lock a 3D Camera View that I have created.. 

So as that if I move it around a bit I have a function that it will always go back to it's same place?

How I did it in a few of my projects , when I need to show on Plan View where  I'm looking from(I use these especially both with  render presentation in a thumbnailed plan)

• I've created two symbols - one for Eye , the other for Target and load them into the Project
• then use a Dynamo script 

• here you can see a rough screencast that shows how it works:

Duplicate the 3D camera view. lock one, and adjust the other.

So, you want a way to find your way back to the same place you were standing before you moved?  What about retracing your steps?   Undo or Rewind will get you there. 😉
