Views
Views are mini-windows with specific functionality that allow you to display, create, test, or edit elements, graphics, and Symbols. The table below provides a description of each view in the Graphics Editor.

Aerial View | View the entire drawing area and active graphic at all times, while giving you the ability to zoom in on a specific area of the graphic. |
Brush Editor | Modify your drawing elements with options such as colors, gradients, light angles, and other special effects to achieve a truly custom look. |
Depths | Create, delete, rename, and change the properties of a depth, view a list of depths and layers and move them up or down the list to order them, associate depths to layers and display the size and Symbol scale factor. |
Element Tree | Display, add, and delete layers associated with the active graphic or Symbol. All the drawing elements associated with the layers are also displayed in the Element Tree view.
