6.9 Use Different Viewing Modes

Split the project view into two or four and then display different view settings and image object levels in each resulting project view or section of a single project view.

Any selected image objects will also be selected in all levels of all resulting project views.

The default method of viewing mode is one project view with the same view settings applied over the entire view.

1. To use the different viewing modes, you must first split a single project view into two or four display areas and then select a viewing mode. To split the project view, select Window on the main menu bar and then choose one of the following:

• Select Split to display movable cross-hairs in the project view. Click anywhere in the project view to create the inner frames of the separate sections or project views.

• Select Split Horizontally to display top and bottom sections or project views.

• Select Split Vertically to display right and left sections or project views.

2. Then select one of the following viewing modes under the Window menu:

• Independent View: Unlink the project views and select independent pan and zoom values in each one.

• Side by Side View: Link the project views, so the pan and zoom value is the same for all. Different view settings can be selected for each project view.

• Swipe View: Change the view settings in wipeable sections of a single project view flexibly by dragging the view settings for one section across the project view.

6.9.1 Use Independent Project Views

Use two or four project views with independent view settings and independent panning and zoom values.

Precondition: You must first split the single project view using one of the splitting options on the Window menu of the main menu bar.

1. To display independent project views, choose Window > Independent View on the main menu bar.

2. Click any project view to make it the active project view, with a blue border.

• Change any view setting and zoom values in the active project view without affecting the other project views.

• You can also pan independently in the active window.

• Each project view displays its own scroll bars, as needed.

3. Drag the inside frames of any project view to reveal or conceal more or less of a view. Drag an inside frame to the outer boundary of the window to remove it entirely and partially or totally consolidate the project views.

4. To reconsolidate the project views, select Window > Split Horizontally and/or Window > Split Vertically.

6.9.2 Use Linked Side-by-Side Project Views

Link panning and zoom values of two or four project views, each with separate view settings.

Precondition: You must first split the single project view using one of the splitting options on the Window menu of the main menu bar.

1. To view side-by-side project views with linked pan and zoom, select Window >

6.9.3 Use Flexible Visualization with Swipe View

Apply the view settings and image object level for one section of a divided project view across the project view by dragging and resizing sections. Because the project view is not resampled, the display changes continuously as the sections are resized.
