This script makes switching to another viewport when maximized behave like pre-max2010. It prevents a reset of the view so when you switch back and forth you get the view back as you left it.

Additional Info: 

Install intructions:

1) Drag&drop script into 3dsMax, or run the script via menu.
2) In 3dsMax go to ‘Customize/Customize user interface
3) Goto ‘keyboard’ tab
4) In ‘category’ pulldown select ‘JDBgraphics’
5) There you’ll find alot of ‘swapToLeft’, ‘swapToCamera’ etc commands. Assigning those to the t,l,f,c,b,p etc keys to override the max2010+ behavior and make it workable again.

3.1
-fix 'wierd error' bug (see comments below)

3.0 update

-99% rewrite, much cleaner code

tip: If you want to use this in combination with the 'V' quad menu popup, just costomize the defautl quad to call these scripts.
