When a graphical view is first displayed from the main DESIGN menu, it displays any objects in the global drawlist (Drawlist(1)). On the 3D View tab, in the New group, click Copy View, select To a Local View from the drop-down list to create a new local view of the graphical selection. The new view is created with its own drawlist (Drawlist(2)) containing only the objects in the graphical selection.

The user can create a clone of the current view, on the 3D View tab, in the New group, click Copy View, select To a Clone View from the drop-down list to create another view using the same drawlist as the current view. Which can be the global drawlist or a local drawlist depending on how the current view itself was created. The Drawlist will be identical and when an element is selected it is displayed on both views.

The user can create a separate view of the current view, on the 3D View tab, in the New group, click Copy View, select To a Separate View from the drop-down list to create another view using the same elements of the Drawlist as the current view, but both drawlist are independent of each other.

The user can create an empty view of the current view, on the 3D View tab, in the New group, click Empty View to display an empty view of the 3D view window with the View Settings window displayed and an empty drawlist.
