Copy/Paste a Viewport

Today's post highlights one of those feature improvements that isn't big enough to get a lot of mention in the product documentation, but can still have an impact on your day-to-day productivity.

Prior to LT 2009, when you used Ctrl+C to copy a viewport and Ctrl+V to paste it, the new viewport was turned "off", i.e. it didn't display the objects inside it. You had to use the Properties palette (Misc --> On --> Yes) or the right-click menu (Display viewport objects --> Yes) to turn it back on.

Now, though, when you paste a viewport, it's turned on by default. (Hooray!)

I hope that saves somebody a few seconds in their day -- even a few seconds over hundreds of copy-pastes can add up to a lot of time!
