Multiple Screens
The tool Multi-Screen Engineering is also known as multiple document interface (MDI). MDI means a graphical user interface in which multiple windows reside in a single parent window. The Multi-Screen Engineering tool is available in two environments, Draw and Scripts.
MDI is a new engineering environment feature that allows the user to edit multiple monitors or scripts at the same time. This makes it easier to copy content between documents, makes it easier to compare different documents, and decreases the switching time between documents being edited.
