On the Edge Solid Edge Tutorial: Set up your display with view styles, and change among them quickly.

One of the benefits of modeling in Solid Edge is that you can use images of your virtual 3D designs in brochures, company web site manuals, and more, but setting up your display each time can become tiresome. Here's a tip to show you how to save your view styles and quickly change between them.

Select the Styles command from the View tab on the Command ribbon.

 

From the top combo box in the Style dialog, change the option to 3D View Styles.


 
Create a New style (using the button shown highlighted above). This can be based on an existing style or default settings, which can save some time. I'll call mine My New 3D face style, but you're free to call yours anything you like that describes the face style.
