Quick View is a new program written in VBA and AutoLISP to quickly change named views in AutoCAD.

This program defines 5 special views in the current AutoCAD drawing. Whenever the user moves the mouse over labels on the Quick View bar the current view will change to the saved view in this drawing.

A special feature of this program is the ability to save the current view immediately after users change to another view. This feature allows users to quickly return to the previous view without using zoom or pan command.

This version supports two kinds of controlling: mouse over Quick View bar and command typing.

An example using of this program is on 3D drawings that users use many views and UCSs and they want to change the view and UCS immediately just by moving mouse or typing keyword.

Users can improve their drawing speed through this quick zoom and view.

 

Copy two files QView.lsp and QView.dvb to AutoCAD support folder. Load QView.lsp and type QV command to show Quick View bar as shown on the above picture.

After loading QView.lsp, there are five new commands (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5) will be added to AutoCAD in order to quickly switch saved views that include their individual UCSs.
