When you select the cycle tool and the viewport in which to work, ABAQUS/CAE enters cycle mode, as indicated by a cursor in the form of a two-way arrow. You can cycle through the eight most recent views in each viewport.

To cycle through previous views, click in the viewport whose view you want to change. To control the direction of cycling, click Backward or Forward in the prompt area. The default is to cycle backward. After you cycle backward to the oldest available view, continued clicking has no effect. Similarly, after you cycle forward to the most recent view, continued clicking has no effect.
