Thanks for your reply Ken. I am not trying to implement a camera link with property links. I just use it as an example. The point I was trying to make is how to synchronize the properties of two views. The relationship between my two follow-up questions is that if there is a way to synchronize property links, I can use CameraViewUp and CameraRotation (my second question) property links to link cameras with a constant offset. Sorry for the confusions and Thanks again.
