Drawing Windows

23
Scroll Bars
Scroll bars allow you to move across the drawing—that is, to change the part
of the drawing visible in the window without changing the level of
magnification.
■
To move the view in small increments, click the scroll arrow that points
in the direction you want to move.
■
To move in larger increments, click the control shaft, between the scroll
box and a scroll arrow.
■
To move by a custom increment, drag the scroll box in the direction you
want to move.
■
To hide the scroll bars from view, uncheck the Scroll Bars check box on the
Appearance page of the View Options dialog box.
Rulers
Rulers appear along the top and left sides of the drawing window. They rep-
resent units of measurement either in world size (the actual size of the object
you are drawing), or the current page (output) size, depending on which ruler
is active.
■
To switch between rulers, click the toggle button in the upper left corner
of the drawing window.
■
To hide rulers from view, uncheck the Rulers check box on the Appearance
page of the View Options dialog box.
For more information on using Rulers in AutoSketch, see “Using Rulers” on
page 53.
Split Boxes
Split boxes allow you to split a drawing window into two or four panes—areas
that display separately controllable views of a drawing. There are several ways
to split and unsplit a window.
■
To split a window at a specific location, drag the appropriate split box to
that location.
■
To split a window at the exact center, double-click the horizontal or verti-
cal split box. On the Control menu, click Split to split a window into four
equal panes.
■
To unsplit a window, drag the appropriate split bar to a corner, double-
click the split bar, or on the Control menu, click Unsplit.
