Use Named Views

You can name and save a view you want to reuse. When you no longer need the view, you can delete it.

To create a new view, use the Add method to add a new view to the Views collection. When you save the drawing, the viewing position and scale of the view are saved.

You name the view when you create it. The name of the view can be up to 255 characters long and contain letters, digits, and the special characters dollar sign ($), hyphen (-), and underscore (_).

To delete a named view, simply use the Delete method. The Delete method for the View object lies on the View object, not its parent.

Sub Ch3_AddView()

 ' Add a named view to the views collection

 Dim viewObj As AcadView

 Set viewObj = ThisDrawing.Views.Add("View1")

End Sub

Sub Ch3_DeleteView()

 Dim viewObj As AcadView

 Set viewObj = ThisDrawing.Views("View1")

 ' Delete the view

 viewObj.Delete

End Sub

Sub Ch3_DeleteViewFromCollection()

 ThisDrawing.Views("View1").Delete

End Sub
