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 (same as the view used in the tracing 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 tracing window.
