View Window

The View Window is a second Image window that can display a different page of your project or a Named View. This is very handy if you want to keep a Detail or Schedule page up while you're performing takeoff on a plan.

 

This window is activated by clicking Ctrl + 2 or selecting View > View Window. Also, by default, the View Window will launch when you access a Named View via a Hot Link.

 

Additional Information: See Using Hot Links and Named Views for more information.

Many estimators find it beneficial to create a named view for the detail pages/sections of their plans - they then can easily access these details when performing takeoff on the regular plans while keeping the details in the View Window on a second monitor.
