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.

Right side — starts the document on a right-facing page

CorelDRAW note Working with views

 
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.
