The Image Tab Pan Window shows a smaller view of the current page. The Pan Window is docked directly below the Navigation Toolbar, by default.
You can use the Pan Window for moving the focus of the Image Windows, however you cannot draw takeoff within the Pan Window.
You can undock the Pan window by grabbing its title bar and dragging it outside the main window. You can also undock the Conditions and Layers windows the same way. This makes more room for the Image Window, where you see your plan and takeoff. See Related Articles for more information on efficient use of multiple monitors.
View Indicator
The View Indicator appears in the Pan View window when zoomed in on any portion of the Image Window. The View Indicator is the black square that indicates what region of the plan is being displayed in the Image Window. The more you zoom into a plan, the smaller the indicator in the Pan Window becomes. If the page is zoomed to "fit page" or if the image is smaller than the Image Window, the View Indicator disappears from the Pan Window.
Examples
When the page is zoomed to only 10%, the View Indicator encompasses most of the Pan View because the majority of the plan is shown the Image Window.
When the zoom is set higher, to 80% for example, the View Indicator in the Pan View narrows down to that specific portion of the plan now displayed in the Image Window. This helps keep track of what portion of the plan image is being displayed at all times.
