Apple Shake 4 New Features - Manual (Page 10)

10 Chapter 1 Shake 4.0 Interface Enhancements
Once you’ve saved one or more Favorite Views in each interface area, you can instantly
recall the position, zoom level, and state of that area by recalling the Favorite View that
you saved. You can save up to five Favorite Views.
To define a Favorite View:
1 Pan to a position in an area 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.
2 Depending on the area you’re adjusting, you can save additional state information
particular to that area. Make additional adjustments as necessary so that you can recall
the desired project elements:
• In the Node View, you can save the state of the nodes that are currently loaded into
the Viewer and Parameters tabs.
• In the Viewer, you can save the node that’s currently being viewed.
• In the Curve Editor, you can save the curves that are currently loaded and displayed.
• In the Parameters tab, you can save the parameters that are being tweaked, as well
as the node displayed in the Viewer.
3 To save a Favorite View, move the pointer into that area and do one of the following:
• Right-click anywhere within the area, then choose Favorite Views > View N > Save
from the shortcut menu (where N is one of the five Favorite Views you can save).
• Press Shift-F1-5, where F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5 correspond to each of the Favorite
Views.
Restoring Favorite Views
Once you’ve defined one or more Favorite Views, you can restore them in one of two
ways. Simply restoring the
framing results in the current contents of that area being
panned and zoomed to the saved position. Restoring the framing and state , on the
other hand, results in the restoration of additional state information that was adjusted
in step 2.
To restore the framing of a Favorite View, do one of the following:
• Right-click in the Viewer, Node View, or Curve Editor, then choose Favorite Views >
View N > Restore Framing from the shortcut menu (where N is one of the five
Favorite Views you can save).
• Press F1-5, where F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5 correspond to each of the Favorite Views.
That area is set to the originally saved position and zoom level.
