Horizontal and vertical split layouts are available when at least two documents are open.

Open split view

  1. 1

    Open at least two drawings

    The split buttons enable once the workspace has two or more open tabs.

  2. 2

    Choose split layout

    Click Split Horizontal (stacked) or Split Vertical (side by side) in the viewer toolbar.

  3. 3

    Assign drawings to panes

    Each pane shows the tab list — click a tab in a pane to open that document there. Drag the divider to resize; double-click it to reset to 50/50.

Return to one drawing

Switch back to the Single or Scrolling layout mode when you need maximum screen space for detailed markup or measurement work.
