Cascading viewports

You can arrange the viewports on the canvas in a cascading pattern. This may be useful to expose hidden viewports or simply to reduce clutter in the drawing area. Abaqus/CAE arranges the viewports so that the title bars are visible but the contents may be hidden by another viewport.

Managing viewports on the canvas
  1. Use the Minimize button in the upper right corner of a viewport to minimize any viewports that you do not want to cascade.
  2. From the main menu bar, select ViewportCascade.

    Abaqus/CAE sets all the non-minimized viewports to the same size and arranges them from the upper left corner toward the lower right corner of the drawing area. The current viewport is always positioned at the front of the canvas; all other viewports are arranged in numerical order. Minimized viewports are positioned in front of any cascaded viewports except the current viewport.

    Tip: You can also cascade non-minimized viewports by clicking in the Viewport toolbar.
