Working with Document Windows

Each document you open appears in its own window. You can work with Canvas X Draw document windows the same as other windows. You can resize a window, expand it to fill the screen, and minimize or roll it up. Canvas X Draw provides commands to organize and select document windows when more than one is open.

Selecting Among Open Documents

When you open several documents at once, only one is active. The Window menu displays the names of open Canvas X Draw documents. The name of the active document has a check mark.

To Change the Active Document:

Do one of the following:

  • Choose the document’s name in the list at the bottom of the Window menu.
  • Press [Command]+[#] listed at the right side of the document names in the Window menu.
  • Click a document’s tab.

When you open more than one document, information in the Properties bar and Status bar, such as the pointer’s location, applies to the active document. The same is true of floating palettes; palette settings apply to the active document and they change when you switch documents.
