Back and Forward

Use Back and Forward to return to Views and working positions visited during the current project session. Navigation History lets you jump directly to a recorded location instead of stepping through each one.

At a glance

  • Move one location at a time with Back and Forward.
  • Choose a recorded location from a dropdown or Navigation History.
  • Restore working zooms and framing as well as supported saved View settings.
Back and Forward paletteStep back or forward, or open a dropdown to choose a recorded location.
Back, Forward and Navigation HistoryChoose how to return to an earlier working location.

Back returns to the preceding location and Forward moves towards the locations you left. Their dropdowns list the recorded locations in the corresponding direction.

Open Navigation History to browse the wider history and jump directly to an entry. You can assign shortcuts to the commands in Archicad’s Work Environment.

Recorded locationsThe dropdown lists recorded working locations, including Views, Layouts and zoomed positions.
Restored settings and session historyA recorded location can contain more than a saved View.

A location may include the window, saved View, storey, 2D zoom and rotation, or 3D framing. Where a saved View is known, its settings reopen before the working position is restored.

Some temporary display overrides and selection-only states cannot be reproduced exactly. History belongs to the current project session and is cleared when the project is closed or reset.
