    Control how the views appear when navigating through models

    Control how the views appear when opening model
     
    When using the Previous Model, Next Model, or All Models Visited buttons in MicroStation V8 XM Edition, you may find these keystrokes a cool way of controlling how the models open.

    No keystrokes - Opens the selected model with the views as they were left in the current session.

    SHIFT key - Opens the selected model with the views as they were the last time that File > Save Settings was chosen.

    ALT key - Opens the selected model with the views as they are in the current model.

    The clip below shows the effect of the SHIFT key and I navigate through the previous models in my design session. Notice how the same models now have fitted views when they're re-opened using the SHIFT key. This is how the views of these models were last saved.
