Hi all
I was supriced when zoom from ex, from view 1 (active view) with zoom window from target view 2 didn´t zoom in target window area from view 2 to view 1.
Example from V8i
Work as I am used to works as I am used to in V8i
But in Connect edition it is like this ( nowhere near what I did in V8i):
The same function with zoom from one view from an another view don`t work i Connect edition, with the same user workflow.
WHY?

Hi Tom the tool you highlited is the source view yet the dialog says to apply it to view 1 it should be view 2
It works the same in both versions for me but you have to be careful when choosing the source view view 1 and the applies to view 2 in the dialog

Sometimes I want to have my o0verview in View 2, yet direct my window area to View 1. Saves me a lot of zooming in and out. The tools allow that, so there's nothing wrong with what Tom is doing.

Mary you voted -1 for my post .. I'm wounded
.. Tom Did it wrong which is why it didnt work for him in Connect ed same as it did in v8i, but you can do it anyway you want but you must use a different window for the apply if you want it to zoom to an other window in Toms Connect ed screen print the left hand window is view 1 and the apply to view is also view 1 so it didn't work for him in connect hence my post saying be careful to make sure the source view and destination view are not the same..

Wrong how?

it needed the apply window to be set to the other window ie 2 not 1

I think you need to take a look at the help file description of the Window Area command. His usage was not wrong, it was perfectly acceptable; he was just trying to do this (as described by MaryB above):
I love you, Lorys...I must have clicked that on accident!
