Use the Panorama window to display horizontally oriented data, such as point data, in a grid.
The Panorama window can display many types of data, such as the Point Editor vista and the Alignment Entities vista. To conserve screen space if more than one vista is active, the Panorama window displays a tab for each one, as shown in the following illustration.
Click the tab containing a vista’s name to bring it to the front of the window.
You control the display of some vistas, such as the Point Editor vista. You activate them when you want, and they remain active until you dismiss them by clicking
. Other vistas, such as the Alignment Entities vista, are controlled by a specific command. This type of vista can only be activated or closed when the command is running, and its display is controlled from the command toolbar.
The active drawing controls the state of the Panorama window. When you switch between drawings, the Panorama window either becomes inactive or shows only the vistas associated with the active drawing.
You can dock the Panorama window or use Auto-hide to reduce the amount of screen space it requires. For more information, see The Toolspace Window.
