Zoom on Opening Workspace File

Quite often I start GM v11.01 by opening a workspace file.
Problem is every time I do this I have to reset the zoom. While zooming using the zoom icon in the toolbar works - somewhat - many times I have to use what I call incremental zooming, i.e., using the Ctrl key plus the plus or minus key to zoom into exactly the zoom level I need.
Is there a way to save the zoom setting so the next time the workspace file is opened, it is at the same zoom lever when the file was last saved?
Thanks,

You can also save multiple named views under the View menu if you want to keep around a collection of views.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I'm glad you said "should" because it's not working exactly that way.
Here's the steps I took:
1. Clicked on File - Save and saved the workspace file
2. Clicked on View - Save Current View
3. Exited the program
When I click on the workspace file in Windows Explorer, the program opens the workspace file, but the zoom is not where it was last at!
However, if I open the program first and then select "Load Workspace" from the File menu and select the workspace file (using Windows Explorer as oppoosed to selecting it from the list of recently opened workspace files at the bottom of the File menu), it is at the correct zoom level!
Odd behavior!
At least now I know how to open the workspace file and have it start at the correct zoom level.
Thanks,
1. Clicked on View - Save Current View
2. Clicked on File - Save and saved the workspace file
3. Exited the program
Does this help?
No because I forgot to include that in my initial list of steps.
It should have read:
1. Clicked on File - Save and saved the workspace file just in case of some problem with the next step!
2. Clicked on View - Save Current View
3. Clicked on File - Save and (again) saved the workspace file
4. Exited the program by clicking on the red "X" in the top right corner of the window
Thanks for bringing my omission to my attention.

YES! That solved the problem. Now I can open it using the Load Workspace, the Open Data File(s), or even by clicking on the workspace file if it is listed on the bottom of the File menu.
Unfortunately it does not fix the problem if you open a workspace file by clicking on the workspace file from the Windows Explorer. That option would be nice, but I can live with the current solution.
Thanks again for your help!
I do have a problem with having to constantly open the Overlay Control Center, but I'll address that in another thread!
