Context:

Use the cycle tool from the View Manipulation toolbar to cycle through previous views; Abaqus/CAE saves the eight most recent views for each viewport.

If the current viewport is linked to other viewports, Abaqus/CAE also cycles through the views in all linked viewports in your session. For more information, see Linking viewports for view manipulation.

  1. From the View Manipulation toolbar, click the cycle tool to enter cycle mode.

    Tip: You can also select ViewPrevious Views from the main menu or press F7.

  2. Position the cursor in the viewport whose view you want to change (the cursor changes to a two-way arrow); then click.
  3. To control the direction of cycling, click Backward or Forward in the prompt area. The default is to cycle backward.
  4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 as many times as necessary to achieve the desired views.

    After you cycle backward to the oldest available view, continued clicking has no effect. Similarly, after you cycle forward to the most recent view, continued clicking has no effect.

  5. To exit cycle mode, do one of the following:

    • Click mouse button 2.

    • Click the cancel or Done button in the prompt area.

    • Click the cycle view tool.

    • Click any other view manipulation tool.
