Drawing Explorer provides full information about all objects in drawing:
· graphic objects;
· block references, external references, raster images;
· parameters of drawing settings.
All changes in drawing reflect in Drawing Explorer immediately. You can separately get the information in Explorer (and also in a drawing area) about new objects and about objects changed since last saving.
You can open dialogs for editing parameters and properties of objects directly from Drawing Explorer.
The name of current document is a root section in hierarchical tree. First subsection displays the current drawing space (Model or Layout), then subsections of objects in this space are following.
Objects are grouped by types. To expand any section, click the sign to the left of the section name.
