Macro View
Purpose: The Macro View window provides an aerial view of the entire tracing (with or without images). The view is a top-down perspective along the X and Y axes (as in the main window).
To open the Macro View window, go to Workspace>Views>Macro View.
You can use it to quickly move to a specific part of the tracing outside of the current field of view: In Macro View, click the Go To icon then click the area of interest; the area you clicked will be displayed in the main window.
Macro View options
To use the options, click the icons in the Macro View window or right-click in the Macro View window.
