Scroll Bars. Autodesk AUTOSKETCH 8

Scroll Bars

Scroll bars allow you to move across the drawing—that is, to change the part of the drawing visible in the window without changing the level of magnification.

To move the view in small increments, click the scroll arrow that points in the direction you want to move.

To move in larger increments, click the control shaft, between the scroll box and a scroll arrow.

To move by a custom increment, drag the scroll box in the direction you want to move.

To hide the scroll bars from view, uncheck the Scroll Bars check box on the

Appearance page of the View Options dialog box.

Rulers

Rulers appear along the top and left sides of the drawing window. They represent units of measurement either in world size (the actual size of the object you are drawing), or the current page (output) size, depending on which ruler is active.

■

■

To switch between rulers, click the toggle button in the upper left corner of the drawing window.

To hide rulers from view, uncheck the Rulers check box on the Appearance page of the View Options dialog box.

For more information on using Rulers in AutoSketch, see “Using Rulers” on page 53.

Split Boxes

Split boxes allow you to split a drawing window into two or four panes—areas that display separately controllable views of a drawing. There are several ways to split and unsplit a window.

■

■

■

To split a window at a specific location, drag the appropriate split box to that location.

To split a window at the exact center, double-click the horizontal or vertical split box. On the Control menu, click Split to split a window into four equal panes.

To unsplit a window, drag the appropriate split bar to a corner, doubleclick the split bar, or on the Control menu, click Unsplit.
