VW17 cannot view two drawings

[Zoe Quattro]

Hi, We have recently had VW2017 loaded onto our computers. Whilst most manoeuvres are straight forward, I cannot fathom the most basic of all.

How do I see two drawings at once?? It is very annoying to have to click between them! Can someone humour me please.

Q why did the chicken cross the road?

A to get to the other side.

A The chicken!

but to your question - you can view 2 drawings at once you may have Full Screen turned on

Go to Window Use Full Screen and turn it off. Drag the corners to make each window smaller

Also documents can be tabbed - to turn this off go to Window>Show Document Tabs

And Turn on Window>Use Application Window

Thanks bcd -  I tried your kind tips but they did not work on my Mac. I omitted to say that I am using a Mac, sorry.

I think you could see both files beside each other on Mac when you disable palette docking.

At least it was that way before docking was launched.

Or overlap their viewing windows to switch by a simple click.

 

But you will always have one active file only.

Thank you Zoomer and bcd. I found 'Undock Current document' and de-docked all four drawings. Thank you VERY MUCH guys.
