Is there a way I can copy a master view and save it as another view?

Did you look in the actual xml using something like notepad++?  Probably could do a copy and paste in the xml.  Just my off the top of my head thought (not in front of xl right now)

Well the problem is the Master View is the only view that's not a view...lol.   The master view stands for here are all the models allocated to this sequence file.  So you really should never work with the Master View you should always have another view that you use to add/delete the models you want to be global to all sequences.

That's my goal, but I wanted to be able to start from my master, which does have everything.

The master is in the sequence xml, the views are in the rgbeffects xml, they are both arranged differently, so copy and paste will not work, at least I didn't see a way.

Yeah that's the problem.  The way the lists are done is completely different.  You could have easily copied any other view using a text editor.  Even with 200 models you could have already clicked the mouse enough times to create the view you want quicker than we've been talking about it. :)

Dang, you're right. Stop yapping and start clicking.

and if you had one of those fancy gamer mouses, you could program a button to click 5 times or 10 times and spend an hour doing that when you could have been done clicking by now..

Gil, any chance you can make a tweak to the display elements popup?  In the timings/model pane if I adjust the column width, once I click move up or move down the column goes back to default size.  It just makes it harder to move things in position if you can't see the whole name.

Just a suggestion.  Thank you sir.
