Favorite Views
If you’ve assembled an exceptionally large and complex node tree, you can navigate to
specific areas of your node tree and save that position of the Node View as a Favorite
View. This is mainly useful for saving the position of a collection of nodes that you’ll be
adjusting frequently.
Later on, when you’re looking at a different part of the tree and you realize you need to
adjust some of the nodes at one of your Favorite Views, you can instantly jump back to
that part of the tree. You can save and recall up to five favorite views. For more
information, see “
To define a Favorite View:
1
Pan to a position in the Node View that contains the region you want to save as a
Favorite View. If necessary, adjust the zoom level to encompass the area that you want
to include.
Note: You can optionally recall the state of the nodes—in other words, which ones are
currently loaded into the Viewer and Parameters tabs.

To save a Favorite View, move the pointer over that quadrant and do one of the
following:
•
Right-click anywhere within the Node View, then choose Favorite Views > View N >

•
Press Shift-F1-5, where F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5 correspond to each of the Favorite Views.
