AutoSketch provides many options for looking at your drawing onscreen. You can display several windows, each containing the same or different drawings. Each window can display one, two, or four panes at a time. Each pane can contain a different view of the drawing. This gives you the flexibility to see all of the areas of a drawing that you need at any given time, from highly magnified detail views to broad overviews of the entire drawing. In addition, AutoSketch provides a number of commands designed to let you choose the exact view you want for any window or pane. s Realtime Zoom allows you to zoom in and out of the drawing dynamically, instantly changing the view as you move the mouse. s Realtime Pan allows you to pan across the drawing dynamically. AutoSketch also offers a number of preset views designed to quickly give you the views you use the most. If you find that you need quick access to other areas of your drawing, you can save and recall your own views. Using the View Options dialog box, you can customize the AutoSketch drawing window to fit your needs, including changing the screen, reference grid, and drawing page. For more information, see online Help. View commands can be accessed from the View menu or the View toolset on the All-In-One toolbar. You can also activate the View toolbar (which contains the same commands but can be docked anywhere onscreen) by rightclicking a bar, then clicking Toolbars on the pop-up menu that appears. Simply check View in the Toolbars dialog box, then click OK to make the View toolbar visible onscreen. Viewing Several Areas at Once To work on different parts of a drawing at the same time, you can open additional windows or split a window into several panes. Both methods create independent views that you can draw or edit between. You split a window by dragging the split bars or by clicking Split on the drawing window Control menu. The UnSplit command restores the active window to a single pane. When you edit the drawing in one pane, the other views also display the changes. When the drawing window is split into multiple panes, the active pane indicator marks the active pane. When you open a new drawing window, it becomes the active window. You can change how drawing windows are arranged by using the commands on the Window menu. For information on arranging multiple drawing windows, see page 97. 88 | Chapter 8 Controlling Views
