Working with views
You can save a view of any part of a drawing so that you can return to that view later. For example, you can save a view of an object at 230 percent magnification and then switch to this specific view at any time.
If a document contains multiple pages, you can view them all at once by using the Page Sorter view. You can also display consecutive pages on the screen at the same time (facing pages) and create objects that span two pages.

If you disable the Page  icon beside a saved view on the docker, CorelDRAW switches to the magnification level only, not the page, when you switch to that view. Similarly, if you disable the Magnifying glass  icon, CorelDRAW switches to the page only, not the magnification level. |

To view all pages in a multipage document
| |
|
•
|
|
Click View Page sorter view. |
To view facing pages
| |
|
1.
|
|
Click Layout Page setup. |
|
2.
|
|
In the Document, Page list of categories, click Layout.
|
|
3.
|
|
Enable the Facing pages check box.
|
|
4.
|
|
Choose one of the following settings from the Start on list box:
|
| |
•
| |
Left side — starts the document on a left-facing page
|
| |
•
| |
Right side — starts the document on a right-facing page
|
|
•
|
|
You will be unable to view facing pages if the document uses a Tent Card or Top-fold Card layout style, or if it contains multiple page orientations. The Left Side option is available only for the Full Page and Book layout styles.
|
|
•
|
|
When you enable the Facing pages check box, the content on the facing pages is merged on one page. The layer structure for the merged page is based on the left-facing page. The layers from the right-facing page are inserted above the layers on the left-facing page. This rule also applies if you reorder the pages.
|
|
•
|
|
If you disable the Facing pages check box, the layers and content are redistributed across separate pages. Objects that cross both pages are assigned to a page according to where the center of the object is found.
