Split the AutoCAD interface.

Hi everybody,

Is there a way to split the AutoCAD interface to two screens, if possible I would love to have an eplanation how to do it.

Note : my operating system is "windows 7" 32-bit.

 

Thanks in advance.

You need a video card with more than one com port

Assuming you have the proper video card. You want to Extend your desktop across both displays. Then simply drag/resize you're C3D window to cover both displays. After that you can Restore-Down your drawings and tile them so you can work on multiple drawing at once. If you're working on a single drawing you can use the Vports command to split the screen in to multiple views. I'll attach a screeshot of how I'm working.

If you mean split the application screen into 2 AutoCAD application windows, like with MicroStation, no you can't. You can only extend the one ACad window to fill two screen.

You can also drag palettes and even the Ribbon to a second screen, freeing up space on your primary screen.

....and make sure both screens have the same native resolution
