Does anyone know how to use this DCS 'Views' Bookmark/Clipboard system?

I found this a while back, and cannot find any good info on how it works.  Here is what I have figured out so far:

If you right-click when you are in the F4 or RCtrl+F2 view you get a Camera/Clipboard menu across the top of your screen.  It has 3 buttons:

  1. Predefined Bookmarks
  2. User Bookmarks
  3. Clipboard

For me the DCS Predefined Bookmarks menu is empty.  But I can see a line at the bottom, which is cutoff, so I wonder if it's just not displaying correctly.

The User Defined Bookmarks has 2 items: 

  1. Editor
  2. Visible

These don't seem to do anything.

The last button lets you Copy to Clipboard.  I pasted this into notepad and it had this just had text defining the coordinates and angle of the camera.  But I don't know what to do with that.

However, I have found that if I save the view to the Clipboard and press F12, and it will zoom out and up from that view about 50 feet, and then drop you into the cockpit...  After doing this a few times I noticed a wire-frame of the 'default' camera in the view.  This looks like the Default position of the RCtrl+F2 camera.

It would be awesome if we could predefine(bookmark) views that we could use over and over anytime for any aircraft.

Does anybody know how this works??
