Views
 
 
 

You can access all available views from the Views tab, using the Gate UI and then dragging a view into a viewport.

NoteYou cannot undo a drag view operation. If you frequently add or remove specific views, you can add them to the Pick List for even faster access.

A view can be:

  1. A view where you work on or view your composition;
  2. A browser where you work with files.

The following views are available:
