Accessing "Named Views" in Part Studio

peter_schon

Hi, I often need to reorient my model to one or more custom views created using the "named view" function in Part Studio.  It takes 4 clicks to get to them which makes it faster to select a surface I want to be perpendicular to and hit "n" to reorient the model "normal" to that surface.  

I'd like to have one or two click access to named views.  Without this the feature is somewhat wasted.

Thanks

I have exactly the same thought every time I use a named view (which is often)

That looks very good suggestion.

I wouldn't mind spending one hotkey for named views. +1 for easy/fast access

It's not just access that I would like addressed, it's how it works when we get there. 
We are not presented with a list of named views, we have to request it, with a click.

Here's a thought if there WAS to be a hotkey: (say Shift-8?): The first time it's pressed, it opens the Named View dialog.

If we hold shift down and press 8 again, it shows us the first named view in the list, and successive presses take us through the named views, in succession.
