I had forgotten, but just got reminded by Utkarsh. ParaView 4.2 has a really sweet feature - you can save any state in the Properties Panel as default. You go it by group.
With regards to parallel projection, Properties Panel/ Advanced/ Camera Parallel Projection on. You will notice this is under the sub header (or whatever you call it) of "View (Render View)" . On the right side of this button (which allows Render View to be minimized/ maximized), are two buttons. One is restore default settings, one is save settings as default. Click on save settings as default. Alan p.s. - Utkarsh, I just tested this functionality and it worked just fine. -----Original Message----- From: ParaView [mailto:paraview-boun...@paraview.org] On Behalf Of Armin Wehrfritz Sent: Friday, December 05, 2014 9:25 AM To: Sebastien Jourdain Cc: paraview@paraview.org Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [Paraview] Enabling parallel projection Cool, didn't realize that the search also find advanced settings. :) Is there a way to set parallel project as default? Up to 4.1 this could be done in Edit->View Settings->General, but that option somehow got lost in 4.2 (or at least I couldn't find it by using the search in Edit->Settings). -Armin On 12/05/2014 05:07 PM, Sebastien Jourdain wrote: > You can also just search what you are looking for in the search box of > the property panel. > If so, you could have found it without toggling the advanced option > and just by typing "par" in that search box. > > Hope that help to find other hidden/advanced options. > > Seb > > On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 4:02 AM, Armin Wehrfritz <dkxl...@gmail.com > <mailto:dkxl...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > The switch is very well hidden... too well in my opinion. > > In the properties panel, you have to toggle the advanced properties > (the gear button), the parallel projection checkbox will appear then > at the bottom of the panel. > > -Armin > > > > > On 12/05/2014 10:58 AM, Florian Lindner wrote: > > Hello, > > in recent paraview 4.2.0 I am unable to find how to enable the > parallel > projection.
