On large designs it can be a time consuming process to go to each part of the plan, for example each green on a golf course.

If you find yourself always zooming in to the same blocks, zones or greens, you may find Layer Views a great way to quickly navigate around your design.

To save Layer Views:

1. Have the Layer Bar open (select Right-click|Layers|Layer Bar or View|Layer Bar) - you will see this on the right-hand side of your screen.

2. Zoom in to an area e.g., Green 1.

3. Click on the Views tab at the bottom of the Layer Bar.

4. At the bottom of the Layer Bar is a field where you can enter a name for the view e.g., Green 1

5. Click the icon for Add View.

6. If you wish the current set of on/off layers to be saved at the same time with the same name check the “Auto sync layer groups” check box to create a Layer Group (see Tip of the Week #8 for more information).

7. Repeat steps 2-6 and give a new name for each view.

8. Now you can quickly navigate around your design with ease by double-clicking on a View name.
