Window Arrangement

Window Arrangement

Control the arrangement of windows. After operating the tiled window, you can view the content details of multiple documents at the same time, avoiding frequent page cutting during the design process and facilitating cross-referencing designs.

Function Entry

The function of canvas segmentation is provided in all types of editors such as schematic, PCB , symbol, package, panel, panel library, etc., and the operation entry and interaction flow are consistent.

Operable Document Type

Page, Symbol, PCB, Footprint, panel, panel Lib, Drawing, Net Flag, Net port, Net-Electronic Flag, as well as 3D preview documents of PCB, Panel, Panel Lib, and 2D preview documents of PCB all support canvas segmentation through top menu or document right-click menu operations.

Window Distribution Rules

Horizontal Split

The document tab at the right-click focus will be evenly divided into two windows horizontally, and the document tab at the right-click focus will be assigned to the newly added window below.

Vertical Split

The document tab at the right-click focus will be divided into two windows in the vertical direction, and the document tab at the right-click focus will be assigned to the new window on the right.

Tile All

By default, the entire canvas area will be divided by 2 vertically and horizontally, with the number of windows divided equal to the number of open document tabs.

Till Horizontally

The entire canvas area will be divided equally horizontally and vertically.

Till Vertically

The entire canvas area will be divided by one vertical and one horizontal average.

Marge All

All the small windows are merged into one large window.

Adjust the Window

Drag Adjustment

After splitting the canvas, you can press and drag the left mouse button on the specific document tab to adjust the window where the document is located.

Tensile Adjustment

When the cursor moves to the window border to display the stretch icon, hold down the left mouse button and drag to stretch and adjust the width/height of the window.

Interaction Between Windows

The interaction rules between windows remain the same as before the canvas splitting, but multiple document contents can be seen at the same time after the canvas splitting, eliminating the need for page cutting.

Note: The tab style of the currently edited document is light blue, and the operation shortcut will take effect on the currently edited page.

• Cross Probe

When a part of the device is selected in the schematic page, the cross selection operation will be highlighted and centered in the PCB canvas.

• Placement Transfer

When a part of the device is selected in the schematic page, the operation layout is passed, and the PCB canvas displays the corresponding device adsorbed on the cursor.

• Copy and Paste

Support cross-window copy and paste, between PCB and Footprint, Page and Symbol, Panel and Panel Lib, etc.
