Single Part Surface/Reset Drawing View

Question

While clicking around to see what different options did, I selected Single part surface and chose a surface in my General View, applied it, and thought "oh, this is hot garbage."

Have we found a way to get out of this, or reverse it once you've chosen it? I can technically get my view back "looking" normal by choosing a surface that's not part of the part used to generate the general view, but the options are stuck like this as well as the View Display options are mostly grayed out.

So my question is there some magical hotkey command to fix this or is there a way to reset a General View back to it's default options?

I thought maybe it would be possible to use the "undo" or to cancel out of the view manipulation but it seems that in drawing mode once you mess with a view it is done. Worse yet, if your fiddling about has caused dimensions to be removed, you can't get them back. The only thing I can think of that might save you is if you haven't saved the drawing after messing it up. You could then erase that drawing from the session and re-open it with the configuration as it was the last time you saved it.

My approach when I'm going to re-orient view(s) (it will affect projected views, too) is to make new views in the orientations I'm looking for, then move the dimensions and other stuff from the old views. This way if I can't move things, I at least have the old views to serve as a guideline to what dimensions I had, where I had the datums indicated, etc.

Drawing mode is a real time-eater.
