Dual screen

Easily work on two screens

In menu "Window" use item "Two screens". TARGET opens 2 windows of the current project, the schematic to the left*, the PCB to the right. Click on the schematic or on the layout in order to activate the window in question. The toolbar on top as well as the sidebar follow accordingly.

Cross Highlighting

If you click on a component or on a signal in the schematic, the corresponding element in the layout will be highlighted and vice versa. This allows quick moving in both views. If a Symbol is not visible on the current page, the page is panned correspondingly. If the symbol lies on another page, TARGET switches to this page. If a package handle lies on an invisible layer, this layer is faded in.

Two screens of different size

The smaller ratio of both will be taken over to the bigger screen. How to enter the ratio please also have a look in article Screen. TARGET can only regard one monitor resolution. So if your pixels are square on the one screen and rectangular on the other, you have to decide which screen is the more important one.
