Managing viewports and viewport annotations from the main menu bar

Use the Viewport menu, located on the main menu bar, to create, delete, modify, link, or rearrange viewports and to create or edit viewport annotations—both those that you create and those generated by Abaqus/CAE. If you prefer, you can select ViewToolbarsViewport from the main menu bar to display a toolbar containing most of the functionality of the items in the Viewport menu.
