Birds Eye View
The
Birds Eye View
shows you the design at a glance and lets you easily
navigate around the workspace.
To magnify a specific area on the design, drag a rectangle around the
desired area on the
Birds Eye View
. The rectangle snaps to the same ratio
as the design space.
Note
All layers appear in the
Birds Eye View
, whether or not they have been disabled in
the
Layers
tab of the
Design Toolbox
.
In the example in the figure below, the green rectangle that was drawn
encloses the four ICs in the middle of the
Birds Eye View
, and the design
has magnified to display only the items that are selected within this
rectangle.
To move the rectangle, hold down the right mouse button anywhere over the
Birds Eye View
, and drag the rectangle to the desired location.
Tip
You cannot resize the selection rectangle in the
Birds Eye View
. Instead, you must
draw another rectangle of the required size. When you do this, the original rectangle
disappears.
