Store & Restore Views
Simple tool for storing and restoring different viewports.
This tool supports different viewports: orthographic and non-orthographic
Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Left, Right, Orthographic, Perspective, Camera and Light
All data are saved with the *.max file (no external files), so it's very important to save
max scene after you finish adding or deleting viewport presets.
How it works: the process is self-explanatory and there is some tooltips on the buttons.
To restore any view, just use double-click on the list item.

Thanks @titane357 for checking this out.
The tool is updated to version 1.1.
Now everything should work properly.

One of the main purposes of this tool, at least for me, is for keeping (saving) specific positions during modeling of large architectural scenes.
In this way, endless zooming and scrolling is avoided.
Modeling in camera view is very annoying and adding additional cameras (to store specific position) in the scene which already has a tone of cameras for final render, IMO it's not so smart move.

Hi,
Sorry but I tested the script in max2022, french win 10.
I create some views ( I verified it works ) I save the file.
Close it. Then re-open, script window is empty... :-(
( another one : position window is always centered )
Why not just create a camera
Why not just create a camera if you want the view to be saved? It's the same thing and saves with the file

That's not the problem, but what would be the purpose of that file?
All view data are stored in custom attribute which is connected to 0 layer.
Every time when you open the file, the view data will be there.
