Graphic Window

You can use up to 16 windows, each with another detail, another viewing direction and another zoom. On the edit masks of the elements you can specify by the graphic filter which elements are to be displayed in the separate windows. The windows are activated by the menu graphic.

The first item in this menu is graphic|properties with which you call up the properties editor of the currently active graphic. With this editor you can enter the name of the window and specify out of which viewing direction the window shall display the machine. The viewing direction can be freezed as well to prevent a changing by mistake.

Furthermore you can specify which element types this window shall take. There are 3 possibilities: At ‘if open’ this element type will only be taken if the window is just opened while creating the element. At ‘never’ the element type is not taken into the list. Please note that changings of these adjustments are only valid for future elements. But for already created elements you can make the adjustments effective by the button ‘now’.

With the check boxes ‘fix vert. scroll bar’ and ‘fix horz. scroll bar’ you can freeze the current detail so that it cannot be adjusted by the mouse by mistake. Even if only one of these check boxes is clicked you will not be able to neither change the zoom nor the viewing direction of the window.

You can also call up the graphic windows 1 till 9 by the short keys Alt+1 till Alt+9.
