Quick Reference

Preview and switch between the model space and layouts in the current drawing with the Quick View Layouts tool.

When you click the Quick View Layouts button on the status bar, the model space and layouts in the drawing are displayed in a horizontal row.

You can plot or publish when you move the cursor over a Quick View image of a layout. The toolbar displayed below the Quick View images of drawings has the following options:

• Pin Quick View Layouts

  Pins the row of Quick View images of layouts so that it is always visible while you are working in the drawing editor.

• New Layout

  Creates a layout that is also displayed as a Quick View image at the end of the row.

• Publish

  Launches the Publish dialog box to publish the layouts.

• Close Quick View Layouts

  Closes all the Quick View layout images.

You can do any of the following with a Quick View layout image:

• Click the image to display the associated layout or model in the drawing area
• Move your cursor over the image to display the Plot and Publish buttons
• Right-click the image to display a shortcut menu with additional options
• Use Ctrl + scroll wheel to resize Quick View images dynamically

If a row of Quick View images extends beyond the application display area, scroll arrows display on the left or right side of the row. You can scroll to view the other images.
