Viewport alter view doesnt work

[CS1]

I have created a viewport with 3 layers visible. I have changed the VIEW to CUSTOM but if I rotate the image in the viewport as soon as i UPDATE the viewport jumps back to its original view

More information please. How are you rotating the "image in the viewport"? That will tell us more about what might be happening.

I have not seen what you are describing here.

In the viewport object info palette I can set up the view to say LEFT ISOMETRIC, I can then use the EDIT DESIGN LAYER option, on the design layer I can use the 3D FLYOVER tool to change the view of all 3 layers. As soon as I exit the EDIT MODE the viewport view jumps back to the original LEFT ISOMETRIC. I have also tried changing the view to CUSTOM VIEW on the info palette but can not get to work.

That's what I thought. The viewport shows its own view, not that one you set on the design layer (except for when you first create the viewport).

Instead of editing the Design Layer, try Editing the Crop and using the Flyover tool from there. That should let you set the view of the viewport.
