Multiple View Planes - ability to "lock" a view

[livespace josha]

I was doing some lighting renders, and had to jump between my "rendered" perspective view window and my top/plan view while adjusting the fixtures. 

 

I kept accidentally putting my top/plan view into a rendering mode while jumping between the two.

 

Could there be a way to "lock" certain parameters of a selected pane? 

i.e.:

allow panning, but keep it as top/plan

allow flyover, but keep rendering mode

100% locked view

lock visible/hidden/grey state

any combinations of the above...

 

I've run into similar situations while doing a part detail...I'd like front/back/side/iso views to never change

And if you jump over to any of the 3d modelling rendering programs like C4D, and see how they set up their view panes, it really becomes a question of "why can't it be like this?"

Please can we also have the ability to properly set up a workspace with a pane on a second monitor.

100% this!

I was going to create a separate request about this in a few days so I didn’t bombard the forum…so thanks!!
