Easily work on two screens

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.
*) If you prefer the schematic to the right, go to menu "Settings(INI)" and set "Schematic on the left" to No. If you have more than two monitors in line and do not want to start with the leftmost, then set "First monitor" to e.g. 2.
