Quick Reference

With Quick View, you can easily preview and switch between open drawings and the model space and layouts in an open drawing. These are displayed in thumbnail images called Quick View images at the bottom of the application window.

The Quick View tools in the application status bar do the following:

• Quick View Drawings

  Displays all currently open drawings in a row of Quick View drawing images. You can also preview and switch between the model space and layouts in an open drawing when you move your cursor over a Quick View drawing image. For more information, see Switch Between Open Drawings.

• Quick View Layouts

  Displays the model space and layouts in the current drawing in a row of Quick View layout images. You can right-click a Quick View layout image to view layout options. For more information, see Switch Between Layouts in the Current Drawing.

The supported file formats are DWG, DWT, DXF, and DWS.
