====Saving and Loading Cameras====

The section labeled **Cameras** allows you to save or load a camera in the Virtual Environment. Saved cameras will store the main camera's orientation and position along with any picture-in-picture sub-cameras that are currently loaded. 

Additionally, a **Default** camera may be stored which will automatically be loaded every time ARDI-VE loads the Virtual Environment in which it was saved.

===Saving a Default Camera===

To save a Default camera, repeat the above process but enter the name as **Default**. ARDI-VE looks for a saved camera of this specific name when the Environment is loaded. If it finds one, the camera will be loaded automatically. Be aware, the name **Default** is also case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as written.
