AllenM Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 To the code writers for future versions of vectorworks. I have been a long time user of vectorworks 12+ years of use. I have a suggestion for you to do with the saved views and how we access them. Right now you can access your views by way of the icon in the tools bar which lets you make a new view and edit views as well as access your saved views. How about if we were to add tabs at the bottom or top of the drawing window with all of your saved views so you just go to one of the tabs and select it and your there. Even though I am only talking about 1 click action but that would make the access much simpler and you don’t have to have a dialogue box come up and select the views. You would still need to have the icon to make a view or you could add this to the right click menu that would have the option to make a view or edit a view instead of the icon altogether. I am thinking these would be similar to tabs in excel on the bottom or numbers the top of the drawing area and they wouldn’t take up much room either. Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It won't be buttons at the bottom, but you can open the Saved Views in a script palette. Then they will always be open and just take a double click. Windows menu. Look for Script Palettes at the bottom of the file and click on Saved Views to put a check mark next to it. Unfortunately it will be a floating palette and can't be docked. I do like you idea, just wanted to let you know what you can do that is kind of close right now. Quote Link to comment
0 AllenM Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Thanks Pat I will look into this and see how it works. Allen Quote Link to comment
0 taliho Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 In 2021 you can undock the saved view palettes from the navigation palette. dbl clicking gets you to the view you need. (I think..) Tali 1 Quote Link to comment

To the code writers for future versions of vectorworks.
I have been a long time user of vectorworks 12+ years of use.
I have a suggestion for you to do with the saved views and how we
access them. Right now you can access your views by way of the icon in the tools bar which
lets you make a new view and edit views as well as access your saved views.
How about if we were to add tabs at the bottom or top of the drawing window with all of your
saved views so you just go to one of the tabs and select it and your there.
Even though I am only talking about 1 click action but that would make the access much
simpler and you don’t have to have a dialogue box come up and select the views.
You would still need to have the icon to make a view or you could add this to the right click menu
that would have the option to make a view or edit a view instead of the icon altogether.
I am thinking these would be similar to tabs in excel on the bottom or numbers the top
of the drawing area and they wouldn’t take up much room either.
