Bird's Eye View

The Bird's Eye View provides a thumb-nail sketch of the entire system design, to aid navigation within the Layout. Bird's Eye View initially covers an area of only 8" x 5", but will automatically increase size to cover a larger system design. A black rectangle frames the viewable area. The rectangle may be dragged to view any location within the system design. The rectangle also has handles to re-size the viewable area, from a minimum of 4" x 2.5" to a maximum of 16" x 10". The Bird’s Eye View can be made dockable (see Options). If Bird’s Eye View docking is enabled, a Menu icon (upper-right of title-bar) allows the Bird’s Eye View to be docked or floating, and to be hidden (closed) or to utilize Auto Hide (if docked). The menu may also be accessed by right-clicking over the Bird’s Eye View. The thumb-tack allows the Bird’s Eye View to remain open (disables Auto Hide).
