we have multiple projects in the same gateway. Is there any way I can transfer (or copy) one perspective view to another project? thanks!

If you have both designers open you can simply copy the view from Designer1 and paste it in Designer2.  
Optionally, you can use Import/Export function from the file menu in the designer.

As of [8.0.13](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/New+in+this+Version#NewinthisVersion-DesignerInterface), you can also choose to send it to the other project directly from the export window on one.

thank you and there is no way that views in different projects in same gateway can synchronize right?

I’m not aware of any syncing features, but it sounds like you can benefit from Project Inheritance.  
Have a look here to see if it’ll suit your needs:
