Using the <<new window>> command

[John K.]

Just "discovered" the use of the &lt;&lt;new window&gt;&gt; command. It allows multiple perspectives of a single view. This is something I used all the time in ACAD & Microstation and, until now, had believed the only way to do this was to &lt;&lt;duplicate&gt;&gt; a view. This one is temporary and doesn't get tucked into the &lt;&lt;project browser&gt;&gt;.

&lt;&lt;toolbar&gt;&gt;
' &lt;&lt;window&gt;&gt;
' &lt;&lt;new window&gt;&gt;

Note: I always feel like a putz throwing seemingly "obvious" stuff like this onto the NG. That was until I read the recent tip about using the &lt;&lt;-&gt;&gt; on the 10-key to separate feet and inches. I remember finding this out on my first Revit tutorial. I guess any trick is easy -- read "obvious" -- once you know how it works.
