3.2.3 is ancient. It will be well worth your while to upgrade.
The latest PV release has the ability to save/restore views, and assign
custom views to a set buttons for quick access. This is found in the
"adjust camera" dialog which is opened by the small button on top of the
the 3D view.

Hello,
I am using Paraview 3.2.3 on Ubuntu Linux to visualize 3D CFD data for
my master's thesis. I would like to be able to take screenshots of
multiple datasets at the exact same viewpoint for comparison
purposes. While I can accomplish this by loading more than one
dataset and hiding all but one, taking a screenshot and repeating for
the other datasets, this is not really a solution because I will run
out of memory before I can load everything I want to capture.
I am using pvsm files to save the state, which works fine, except that
when the state loads, the camera settings are all exactly as I left
them, but the view is zoomed way in on the dataset. I cannot find any
way to control the exact amount of zoom so as to take consistent
screenshots between pvsm loads.
I have played with lookmarks some, but they seem to suffer the same
zooming issue I just mentioned.
Aside from changing file and pathnames in the pvsm files to get exact
Paraview states for multiple datasets, I have been using the program
exclusively interactively.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Bryan Hinson
