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
