9 (optional) To view the details with a transparent background, click the
Transparent check box on the edit bar. The detail view will assume the
background color of whatever is behind it.
10 (optional) To change the scale of the detail view to a fixed scale, click the
Fixed Scale check box on the edit bar. The fixed scale will only change the
scale of the detail view, the size of the rectangle will not change.
NOTE If you need a new detail view, delete the current detail view before
you create a new one.
Redrawing a Pane or Window
The drawing window sometimes leaves remnants from a drawing or editing
procedure. You redraw to clean up the display of the drawing. A complex
redraw can be a lengthy process, but it doesn’t have to interrupt your work.
The background redraw feature in AutoSketch allows you to perform most
operations during redraw. Simply continue working normally and
AutoSketch redraws during idle moments in your work.
To redraw the drawing
■
On the View menu, click Redraw, or click the Redraw button on the All-
In-One toolbar. To redraw all panes of a single window, on the drawing
window Control menu, click View All, Redraw.
Arranging Drawing Windows
AutoSketch supplies three commands to quickly rearrange and organize
drawing windows.
■
Arranging the icons causes the icons for all minimized drawings to return
to the bottom left of the workspace.
■
Horizontal or vertical tiling causes the drawing windows to resize so they
are as large as possible without overlapping and minimized drawing
windows return to the lower left of the workspace.
■
Cascading the drawing windows causes them to redraw at a uniform size,
arranged so they overlap each other revealing the title bars, and mini-
mized drawing windows return to the lower left of the workspace.
