I am trying to create a 3D model view with a custom orientation and zoom. I'm hoping to use the shortcut menu: Replace View, Custom View in the shortcut window to get back to my custom view quickly.
Set the view to your desired zoom and orientation then go to view -> operation -> save as... and give the view a custom name.
Also, you can generate other views from your custom view. In other words, if you want your new view to be considered the "top" view, you can create a new view set and generate the "front", "right", "isometric", etc based on your new view. To add a view set, right click on the "model views" in the part navigator and choose "add view set". Pick your custom view as the "base view" and select which views you would like to generate based on your new view.
Open the "roles" palette and choose one with "full menus" (I recommend "advanced with full menus"). If you are using the "essentials" role, it "helpfully" hides useful functionality from you.
Be aware that when changing your role, you may lose toolbar customizations that you have done.
