View Layouts

 
 
 

You can save up to four zoom and pan settings for the Schematic and Player viewers. These view layouts can then be recalled with a hotkey or using the F1-F4 keys. This lets you switch back and forth between multiple areas of the viewer and is especially useful in the Schematic view.

View layouts are stored with the version of the composition. This allows for example, multiple Schematic viewers to share the same layouts. It also allows the layouts to be persistent from one UI preset to another and one session to another.

To set a view layout in a viewer:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Zoom and pan to the layout you want, and press Ctrl + F1. Repeat using F2, F3, F4 as needed. Activate the view using its corresponding hotkey or by right-clicking and selecting Activate (corresponding view) from the View Layout sub-menu.
    • Zoom and pan to the layout you want, right-click and select Set View Layout (1, 2, 3, 4), then select Set from the submenu. Activate the view using its hotkey or by right-clicking and selecting Activate (corresponding view) from the View Layout submenu.
NoteWhen a view layout is saved for a Schematic viewer, a small number (1 to 4) appears in the view. This number represents the center point of that view layout.

To delete a saved view layout setting:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Right-click in the view and select Delete (corresponding view layout) from the View Layout sub-menu.
    • Press Ctrl + Shift + (F1, F2, F3, F4). The saved view layout is deleted.
NoteComposite saves the zoom/pan settings for viewers that have entered fullscreen mode so that the next time they go fullscreen, they maintain the same zoom/pan as before. When exiting fullscreen, the viewer's zoom/pan will be reset to the previous values.
