Where Are Saved Views Actually Saved

Hi,

Saved views are stored inside dgn. In your sample Saved View 1 is stored inside Model 1.

Regards

As Jose said: The Saved views are stored in the Model they were created in. They are available in all models within the actual dgn file. Open the Saved View dialog and Rt. Click on the Sorting Bar (turn On "Model" if not already on) and It will display the Model it is in.  When selecting the Saved View, Watch your options! One of the options (Model if on) will actually change the view you select to the Model it was created in. You can possibly have each of your open views (8 possible) displaying (actually In) different models.

Pay attention to the View Header. It will tell you which Model that view is in (View #, the Saved View Name, the Model (and more)) . It can get a bit confusing if not careful!

Thanks for the input that has helped a lot.

Using the same example if I was in Model 2 on a Layer called Final and I referenced in the Saved View 1 from Model 1 than where is Saved View 1 actually saved, is it in the Layer called Final or is it just in memory?

Does that make sense?

Thanks

No!

A Saved View is stored in your DGN file.  If it were 'just in memory' it would not be saved.  It's not clear why you're conflating Saved Views and levels (if you're using the AutoCAD term layer to mean a MicroStation level).

Try to put your question a different way.  Tell us what you're attempting to achieve.  Don't confuse us by introducing quasi-technical terminology.

Save views, or any reference attachment can be associated with a level. I believe in AutoCAD they are assigned to a layer. In MicroStation its optional if you want to associate them to a level. The saved views resides in the model it was created in. You can reference that saved view from any other file/model.
