but that's not what he said:

He didn't write "didn't zoom in target window into View 2", whereas you seem to think he was trying to zoom into View 2, which he never wrote in his post, nor do any of the CONNECT screenshots show the Window Area dialog with Apply to Window set to View 2 either.

You wrote he was doing something wrong, yet see I nothing wrong in what he did (others have commented they do the same thing) and I'm wondering what you think he did wrong.

Toms post if you want that to work then set it as above and data point in active window 1 will zoom to or apply to view 2 per setting in dialog see his dialog he has the apply set to view 1 so all zooming will apply to view 1 not view 2 as he wanted it needs to be the apply window... so why are we going round in circles your example has the apply to dialog to view 1 so all zooms not matter which window will zoom to the apply window in your example view 1.. which is as the help and your example and is what I've been saying...

the apply window no dialog is where it will apply the resultant zoom in...

When you keyin the command in question in the search window. you will most often get the hint where your function can be found in different workflows of the ribbon. And lets you open the command directly as well... well most often

Resetting preferences. I have to do this rather often. I intermittendly do backups from the prefs. When will there be a better solution? I have heard lots of reasoning around the issue. Why it happens etc. This is more than a annoyance. See also in ideas.

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):

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..

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.

Hi David and Lorys

By taking the steps slow in Connect edition it works, must been something in my own way to work in microstation that did so this didn`t work earlier.

Thanks for reminding me to be careful

There is also one more question I like to have sorted that have to do with multiple views open and connect vs V8i.

Where do I find these functions in Connect?

Regards

//Tom

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

David Trejo-Rodriguez — Mon, 28 Mar 2022 22:49:13 GMT

I have tested between V8i and CONNECT and the behavior and do not see a difference between the 2 versions. Whichever view the tool is the zoom change applied to.

Is it possible to post a video of the behavior you are getting?

Another thing to check is to see if resetting preferences helps resolve the issue:
