ezdxf's VIEW default is direction=(1, 1, 1) — an isometric view — so every
named view the headless engine wrote to disk was oblique while the tool
claimed to store the plan window of center/height; AutoCAD restored it in
that DCS. view_named_save now writes direction (0,0,1), target (0,0,0) and
view_twist 0 explicitly. view_named_restore copies direction/target/twist
from the VIEW into the *Active VPORT instead of flattening a foreign
oblique view to plan, reading the attributes the way the file carries them
(ezdxf forces those tags on export). Measured live on AutoCAD 2026:
Views.Add already creates a plan view, so the COM path only gains a note.
Tests: the VIEW entry and the reopened DXF assert 11/21/31 = 0/0/1 and the
target; a hand-built oblique, twisted VIEW restores its orientation into
the VPORT and a tool-saved view puts it back on plan.
