Locking
When you have multiple windows open in the Model Display pane, you can 'lock' them so that everything that you do in one window happens in another window at exactly the same time.
There are three workflows when you might want to lock windows:
- Lock View - This locks the models so that each is manipulated in exactly the same way at the same time, that is, rotated, measured, zoomed, etc.,
- Lock Plot - This locks the display and plot properties of each locked window. If a result is displayed for one study, they are displayed for all studies.
- Lock Animation - This locks the animations of the plots so frames in each locked window are displayed at the same time. Make sure that the scales of the plots are similar.
