When I switch from 2D to 3D mode, Altium zooms to the spot on the board I was viewing the last time I was in 3D mode.

The behavior I would like: When I switch from 2D mode to 3D mode, I see same part of the board that I was looking right before switching from 2D to 3D (and vice versa).

Is there a setting that does this?

The standard keys to use to switch to a given view are:

  • 2D: 2
  • 3D 3

If you add CTRL + ALT to these, the camera will retain your current view after the switch takes place:

  • 3D to 2D: Ctrl + Alt + 2
  • 2D to 3D: Ctrl + Alt + 3

These commands aren't overtly well documented. I came across them by chance a few months ago here: Altium Documentation
