'Connected' arrangement

You can use the Connected option on the Window menu to connect the viewports in Allplan:

• You can quickly rearrange the viewports using drag-and-drop operations.
• New viewports are fitted into the existing arrangement.
• When you change the Allplan window, the viewports adapt automatically.
• When you change the size of a viewport, the other viewports adapt automatically.
• Double-clicking the title of a viewport maximizes the viewport as usual. What's new is that double-clicking the title again restores the previous size and arrangement.
• You can use SHIFT+TAB to switch between the viewports as usual.

Note: Free NDW files are always opened in a separate window which is on top of the viewports with drawing files, regardless of whether Connected is selected or not.

Connected not selected

If the Connected option is not selected, the viewports behave as in earlier versions: they can be placed independently of each other, moved individually and arranged in such a manner that they overlap. New viewports are placed on top of the existing ones.

If the Connected option is not selected, the viewport boundaries are indicated by the corner symbols , , and . You can change the size of a viewport by dragging these corner symbols.

Note: You can only select the Stacked and Side by Side arrangements on the Window menu when the Connected option is switched off. The Cascade arrangement no longer exists.
