Yeah it definitely is safe to assume I hate Maya's view port functionality. I am sure if someone ever really explained how the camera / view port associations work and I could make sense of them I would be less upset.
But hell I not a retard and have spent a lot of time trying to figure them out and have been unsuccessful.
As I said at one point trying to set up cameras attached to view ports for back, top, and right side I ended up having to delete the maya folder because ever time I started maya it could not find the regular view ports any more!
I have yet to see anyone explain how the view ports work and how to set up the three missing views.
