You may try the following function:
ExtrahiereViews[ll_]:=
Flatten[Union[Extract[ll,Position[ll,#]]&/@
{ViewPoint->_, ViewCenter->_, ViewVertical->_,
ViewAngle->_, ViewVector->_, ViewRange->_}]];
Call it and paste the graphics you moved with your mouse as
argument. I use CMD+Shift+L (copy output from above) for that purpose
