Birds Eye View

The Birds Eye View shows you the design at a glance and lets you easily
navigate around the workspace.

To magnify a specific area on the design, drag a rectangle around the
desired area on the Birds Eye View. The rectangle snaps to the same ratio
as the design space.

Note

All layers appear in the Birds Eye View, whether or not they have been disabled in

the Layers tab of the Design Toolbox.

In the example in the figure below, the green rectangle that was drawn
encloses the four ICs in the middle of the Birds Eye View, and the design
has magnified to display only the items that are selected within this
rectangle.

To move the rectangle, hold down the right mouse button anywhere over the
Birds Eye View, and drag the rectangle to the desired location.

Tip

You cannot resize the selection rectangle in the Birds Eye View. Instead, you must

draw another rectangle of the required size. When you do this, the original rectangle
disappears.
