# Viewport

Configure

Configure All

All settings in these menus are local, i.e., they are saved with the scene file.

The following conventions apply when using the Viewport settings:

- All options and parameters are saved in the scene file.
- Local options and local parameters affect the active view or selected views only. You can select multiple views by `Shift`-clicking the views in the position indicated by the mouse pointer in Figure 1. Multiple selected views have a colored frame.

Figure 1.

- The **Configure All** command selects all existing views. You can then edit the settings of all views at the same time in the **Attribute Manager**.

Configure Similar

This function can be used to configure similar Viewports in a single step. So which Viewports are considered similar? The following three types can be combined:

- **3D views**: Perspective and Parallel
- **Orthogonal views**: Left, right, front, back, top, bottom
- **Axonometric views**: Isometric, Diametric, Military, Gentleman, Bird, Frog

Depending on which view is active, all similar view types will be displayed in the Attribute Manager and can be modified when the Configure Similar command is called up.
