Add option when creating New View to opt out from changing zoom level
The custom Views is a godsend for complex artwork, but sometimes it would be nice to keep the zoom level and toggle only the Layers settings (visibility, lock status, etc). So either an option when saving the custom View, or a program-wide preference setting would be highly appreciated. In this way, the request for a layer visibility toggle shortcut could also be partially addressed.

Clayton, yes!
Funny thing is Ai can do that, but doesn’t expose the controls to do it.
But luckily we have plugins, and AG Layer Comps does exactly the thing, offering to remember top layers’ visibility states, the zoom level (the one you need), as well as view coordinates. Works flawlessly.But sure Ai should do this from the box, so I upvote this.
