Clip Cube settings

[Ride]

Are there settings for the clip cube somewhere? I feel like I'm doing something wrong. It seems to have no memory of the last settings. It would be nice if, when going to a sheet layer and then going back to the design layer that the clip cube would retain the bounding box size. Every time I move away from the design layer I have to reset the clip cube again. 

What's the trick?

Hi @Ride 

 

You can use saved views to move between  different clipcubes

Also, on the fly, holding down Ctrl (yes even on Mac) while turning on the Clip Cube (either with menu item or Quick Pref button) will restore the most recent Clip Cube.

I do. But my saved view is a top/plan view, and it doesn't save the clip cube bounding box. That is only saved if I'm saving a 3D view. Maybe this is by design? If I go to my top/plan saved view, and then changed to a 3D view, I have to reset the clip cube box all over again. It doesn't stay activated.

Thinking about this more, something doesn't sound right. When going to a Sheet Layer then back to the Design Layer, the Clip Cube should remain in tact. Unless you're navigating with Saved Views, in which case the Saved View that is taking you back to your Design Layer is turning off the Clip Cube since it wasn't on as part of that Saved View.

 

If you were to navigate with the Layers dropdown, or the Layer tab of the Navigation palette, the Clip Cube shouldn't get turned off.

Ok, I'll try that.

Holy macaroni that's really cool thank you!

@Ride - Just note that every Saved View will store the current Clip Cube or lack thereof, unless you uncheck "Save View Orientation". (I sort of wish it was a separate checkbox, but for now it isn't).

Ok, yeah I think it was my saved view that was giving me the problem. I'll play with this some more.

Thank you! This has been driving me nuts.
