QUESTION

How can I easily transfer properties that I have specified in one of my camera views over to another camera view?

ANSWER

If several modifications have been made to a particular camera view, and you now want to copy, or replicate, them across other camera views, consider copying/pasting the view or setting the particular view as the default for the camera tool.

To copy and paste cameras

1. With a camera or cross section callout selected in a plan view, navigate to Edit> Copy , select the Copy/Paste  edit tool, or press the hotkey command Ctrl/Command + C to copy the view.
   
   
   Note: Camera views can also be duplicated using the Project Browser, though this will simply create a copy on top of the original.*

2. Navigate to Edit> Paste> Paste or press the hotkey command Ctrl/Command + V, then click where you want the copied camera to be placed.
