Scenes - How do I get back to my original drawing?
-
I created a bunch of scenes with most of my components hidden except for one. How do I get back to my original drawing? If I click View|Scene Tabs so that the scene tabs go away, does that mean I am in my original drawing before I created the scenes? I can't tell because my other components are hidden and it looks the same. Would hate to work on this drawing (without the Scene Tabs) only to find out much later that I wasn't working on my drawing but some other 'scene' or something. None of the video tutorials or help files tell you how to get back to your drawing for some reason. Maybe it's obvious to everyone but me!
Edit: So I clicked View|Scene to get rid of the scene tabs, unhid all the layers where the other components were on, then worked on my drawing, then clicked View|Scene to look at one of the scenes, then clicked View|Scene again and my screen did not go back to the original drawing and I had to click all the layers again to view all the components again. Surely you don't have to go through this process all the time? No easy way to go back to your original drawing?

Create a new scene called "WIP" (aka Work in progress) which shows what you want, you can then jump between scenes and quickly get back to displaying the full model. You may need to "update" the scene with new camera position or additional layers as the model develops.

Thanks. I have to say though that it seems odd and unintuitive for the screen not to go back to your original drawing and layers, etc, if you click View|Scenes to hide the scenes. One accidental click of View|Scenes (if you haven't created a 'WIP' layer, as you suggest) and you lose what the drawing you were working on looked like and have to do a lot of work to get it back to where it was before (albeit no actual redrawing).
