If you are editing a sheet layer viewport or section viewport (Design Series required), and Navigate Back to Viewport is selected, this option displays the design layer with a clip cube whose dimensions match the length, depth, and height ranges set for the viewport. Make any clip cube edits as described in Viewing a model with the clip cube.

Keep the Edit View on Exit

(Sheet layer viewports only)

When you return to the viewport after editing, this setting maintains any view changes (zoom and view location) made during edits to the viewport annotations or crop object. Deselect this option to return to the original viewport view settings.

This option is only available when the Annotations or Crop edit mode is selected.

Double Click

Sets the future behavior when a viewport is double-clicked, eliminating the display of this dialog box if desired. If the Edits the Design Layer option is selected, a double-click activates the design layer of the double-clicked object. If the object does not belong to a design layer, the Edit Viewport dialog box opens to select a design layer to edit.

If Displays this Dialog is not selected, you can still open the dialog box: select Modify > Edit Viewport, or right-click on the viewport and select Edit from the context menu.
