How do I save a view between different models in 11.0.130 on Win7 x64?

I know it's possible to save a View when working with a model, but how do I save a view so that I can use it with a different model from the current one I'm looking at? I assume views consist of orientation info that is independent of the model being viewed, so the above sounds doable.

The reason I'm asking is I'm working with multiple model and results files but need the same contour plot view for all of them. Manually setting the view each time is tedious, so I'd like to be able to save a view while viewing a particular model + result file pair and then use the same view for a different model + result file pair.

I noticed there's a 'Save User View' + 'Restore User View' button in the Standard Views toolbar, but it's greyed out when I'm viewing an INP model file with an ODB result file. Can this button do what I want? How do I activate it?

    When you have both models on the screen (e.g. in a 2 windows per page layout), you could use 'Apply Style' or 'Synchronize Animation' to get identical views in both windows.

    Thanks, Hettel. When does the 'Save User View' + 'Restore User View' button in the Standard Views toolbar become active?

    Hi,

    it is a nice programmers joke to have a grayed button ;-)

    Click the right mouse button inside the browser (free place) und choose CREATE->VIEW.

    Now you have a entity called VIEWS, and you can activate your view there...

    Regards,
