Think Bigger From EdrawMax User Guide

Page View Options

The View tab in EdrawMax is divided into four major sections.

• Presentation: It lets you present the document or diagram.
• Views: It shows how you wish to view your document.
• Display: It shows all the information you would like to display on the document.
• Zoom: It provides different preview options for your page.

Let us explain each of these major sections in detail.

Presentation

Navigate to View tab > Head to the Presentation option. Here, you will get two options:

• From Beginning: It will start the presentation from the beginning.

• From Current Page: It will start the presentation from the selected page.

Click on the expand menu option under the Presentation, and a presentation setting bar will appear on the right panel.

Select Slide Size to make changes to the presentation’s size.

Click on the (+) to create a slide by selecting any area of the page. Once you select it, a selection area will appear on the canvas. From here, you can drag and select the area that you would like to present from that particular page.

Click on the presentation icon to auto-create the presentation by page.

From this section, you can either click on the Play button to instantly start the presentation or click on Export PPT to export all the slides in PowerPoint format.

Views
