Setting a View as the Default View
When a Mimic is displayed in Run mode, it is displayed at the level of magnification that is defined for the default View. If there is no default View in place, the Mimic is displayed at full size.
You can use the Edit View window to specify which of the Mimic's Views is to be used as the default View. (This is optional—you can leave the Mimic to be displayed at full size if you wish).
To define a View as the Default View:
- Display the Mimic that contains the View you want to set as the default View. You need to display the Mimic in Design mode (see Displaying a Mimic).
- Select Views in the View command group on the Graphics Tab.
The Views window is displayed.
- In the list on the Views window, select the View that is to be the default View.
- Select the Set Default button.
The selected View is now the default View. When the Mimic is displayed in Run mode, it will be shown at the level of magnification defined for the default View. This is also true if the Mimic is displayed as the result of a hyperlink (unless the configuration of the hyperlink defines that a different View is shown instead of the default View).
To return the Mimic to having no default View:
- Display the Mimic that contains the View you want to cancel as the default View. You need to display the Mimic in Design mode (see Displaying a Mimic).
- Select Views in the View command group on the Graphics Tab.
- In the list on the Views window, select the View that is the current default View.
- Select the Clear Default button.
The Mimic is reset to have no default View. You can leave the Mimic without a default View or use the Set Default button to apply the default View status to another View as required.
