Working with views

You can save a view of any part of a drawing. For example, you can save a view of an object at 230% magnification and then return to this specific view at any time.

If a document contains multiple pages, you can view them all at once by using the Page Sorter view. You can also display consecutive left-hand and right-hand pages on the screen at the same time (facing pages) and create objects that span two pages.

To save a view Back to Top
1.
 
Click Tools View manager.
2.
 
Use the Zoom tools in the View manager docker to set up a view.
3.
 
Click the Add current view button .

You can also
 
Rename a view
Double-click a view name, and type a new name.
Delete a saved view
Click a view, and click the Delete current view button .

If you disable the page icon next to a saved view in the docker, CorelDRAW switches to the magnification level only, not the page, when you switch to that view. Similarly, if you disable the magnifying glass icon , CorelDRAWswitches to the page only, not the magnification level.
You can also save the current view by clicking the Zoom or Pan tool in the toolbox, clicking in the Zoom levels list box on the standard toolbar, typing a name, and pressing Enter.
To switch to a saved view Back to Top
1.
 
Click Tools View manager.
2.
 
Click a view in the View manager docker.
You can also switch to a saved view by selecting it from the Zoom levels list box on the standard toolbar.
To view all pages in a multipage document Back to Top
 
Click View Page sorter view.
To view facing pages Back to Top
1.
 
Click Layout Page setup.
2.
 
In the Document list of categories, click Layout.
3.
 
Enable the Facing pages check box.
4.
 
Choose one of the following settings from the Start on list box:
Left side — starts the document on a left-hand page
Right side — starts the document on a right-hand page
You cannot view facing pages if the document uses a Tent Card or Top-fold Card layout style, or if it contains multiple page orientations. The Left side option is available only for the Full Page and Book layout styles.
When you enable the Facing pages check box, the content on the facing pages is merged on one page. The layer structure for the merged page is based on the left-hand page. The layers from the right-hand page are inserted above the layers on the left-hand page. This rule also applies if you reorder the pages. If you disable the Facing pages check box, the layers and content are redistributed across separate pages. Objects that cross both pages are assigned to a page according to where the center of the object is found.
It is recommended that you avoid switching back and forth between individual pages and facing pages within the same document.
