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 will be panned correspondingly. If the symbol is located on a page different to page 1, TARGET switches to this page. If a package handle is located on an invisible layer, this layer will be 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.
