Hello All,  
I have been trying to educate myself to be able to use snapshots. I have watched Kyle’s video numerous times, but I am unable to replicate the result.  
The snapshots, after having been saved and reopened, do not appear to have any information stored on them.  
I can’t work out where I am going wrong.

Have you tried NamedView, maybe this one is better for you.
