This function is
utilized to save/store a desired view in the current eta/DYNAFORM database. The
saved/stored views can be recalled. The user is allowed to export the model
view in *.view file format and save it to a hard disk. It is easy to import it
from a hard disk to the database when necessary. The User Views dialog box is
illustrated in Figure
15.7.1. By default, the system pre-defines four commonly
used views: X-Y VIEW, X-Z VIEW, Y-Z VIEW and ISOMETRIC VIEW.
