Supposed to automatically keep the selected plane in view. Not sure of the details, never tried it. Prolly written up on the help page somewhere. Also see, "target fixation".

Am0n, I set it up offline to try it out...

It's not a smooth transition like other padlocks, it simply scrolls between views... such as 4/8 pr 6/8 or 4/2, simply combo views.

It loses lock when it goes behind a large structure, but I think it retains lock behind canopy struts.

I tried it out so I could tell people how to use it, in all honestly- pan/snap views are the best (not snap or pan.. but the snap/pan combo).
